Transformations of Love presents the diary of 17th‑century English writer and horticulturalist John Evelyn (1620‑1706) and his close, spiritually‑charged friendship with Margaret Godolphin (1652‑1678), a maid of honour at the court of King Charles II. Evelyn, a civil servant and noted diarist, describes his relationship with Godolphin, whom he admired for her devotion, as a “seraphic” companionship worthy of posterity.
