man or woman of letters

Now it's time for a man or woman of letters to bask in Nobel glory.

What struggling man or woman of letters has not at one time or another shared the hope which animated them, that this way lay the road to success and competence?

But not everybody—not every considerable man or woman of letters even—can write good letters.

A great man or woman of letters, without great scholarship, is well-nigh an impossible thing.

This is very often in country towns the period of the day when gossips find it particularly agreeable to call on the man or woman of letters, in order, from the outside of the epistles, and, if they are not belied, occasionally from the inside also, to amuse themselves with gleaning information, or forming conjectures about the correspondence and affairs of their neighbours.
