Horace Walpole by John Morley is a biography of the English writer, politician, and art historian Horace Walpole. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Walpole's life, from his privileged upbringing as the son of a prime minister to his influential role in the literary and cultural circles of 18th century England. Morley explores Walpole's literary achievements, including his popular Gothic novel The Castle of Otranto, as well as his political career and his extensive collection of art and antiquities. The biography also delves into Walpole's personal relationships and his complex identity as a gay man in a society that did not accept homosexuality. Through meticulous research and engaging prose, Morley offers a vivid portrait of one of England's most fascinating and enigmatic figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
