I would say that epistolatory correspondence evolves.
In the first Euphues, its protagonist is merely transformed from a prodigal schoolboy, recycling the contents of his commonplace book to rationalize his wilful desires, into a reclusive pedant, recycling other people's treatises within his epistolatory polemics (and arresting the narrative dynamic of Lyly's project).
I can't think of a more lifeenhancing sight than our leading man of letters, Lord (Melvyn) Bragg himself, majestically mounting his mountain bike to check we're truly satisfied with our epistolatory deliveries.
