Summary: "The Family Letters of Oliver Goldsmith" by Ernest Clarke is a scholarly collection of letters written by the renowned Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith, dating from the mid-18th century to the late 18th century. This book primarily captures Goldsmith's correspondence with his family and friends, showcasing his personal thoughts, experiences, and emotional landscape.

His correspondence highlights his longing for connection, his sense of duty toward his family, and his vulnerability in facing the challenges of life.
