This eBook was produced by Marjorie Fulton
"The Letters of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford — Volume 3" by Horace Walpole is a collection of correspondences written during the mid-18th century. This volume is a part of a larger compilation that tracks Walpole's engagements and reflections on political, cultural, and personal matters in the years 1759 to 1769. The letters provide insights into Walpole's views on contemporary events, literary works, and his personal relationships, highlighting the intersection of personal anecdotes with broader historical contexts. At the start of this volume, Walpole's letters reveal his wit and social observations as he communicates with esteemed contemporaries, including George Montagu and William Pitt. He writes about various themes such as political turbulence in Ireland, the resignations of public figures, and his reactions to military victories, all layered with humor and satire. His correspondence dissects current events, showcases the nuances of aristocratic life, and reflects on the trials and tribulations of personal connections, blending light-hearted banter with serious commentary on the state of England and its politics. The opening sets the tone for the rich tapestry of 18th-century correspondence that characterizes Walpole’s style. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
