Horace Walpole: 1717 - 1797 And France (Studies in British History, Vol 26)

By Rex A. Barrell

This work is a study of the famous British man of letters, an astute observer of human nature, local custom, literature and history. It sets the seal on Walpole's place in history, evaluates his contribution to 18th-century society and literature, and provides a picture of two very different civilizations. A large fund of biographical material is used to give the reader as complete a portrait of an enigmatic and intriguing figure as possible.
