T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Walpole, Horace (1717-1797) Horace Walpole was the youngest child of one of the most powerful political figures of the eighteenth century and his wealthy and beautiful wife. The great Sir Robert Walpole, considered by many to be the first "prime" minister, ran English government for a generation. Horace hated him as much as he loved the mother whom he saw offended by his father's infidelities. His parentage, nevertheless, gave him a certain stature and sense of self-importance that never left him. At ten, Walpole was sent to Eton College, where he became part of the "Quadruple Alliance" of sensitive literary friends, which included Thomas Gray, the most popular poet of the century, and Richard West, a sensitive and inverted young writer who died in his twenties and was the cause of a deeply moving series of letters and poems between Walpole and Gray.

Biografia de Horace Walpole Home Volver a Autores Hijo de Sir Robert Walpole, politico, Horace Walpole (1717-1797), es considerado el primer escritor de una novela gotica, "El Castillo de Otranto". Tuvo una juventud apacible, pasando tres años en la universidad de Cambridge con los poetas Thomas Gray y William Mason, sus intimos amigos, pero abandono sus estudios sin haber conseguido el titulo. Su familia quiso que se dedicase a la politica, pero el no mostro ninguna aptitud hacias las cuestiones legales, y aunque intento hacer carrera politica durante un breve tiempo, se limito solamente a sentarse en el Parlamento de vez en cuando. Sir Robert Walpole, a pesar de no ser un hombre de gran fortuna, le dejo a Horance una buena herencia, permitiendole vivir sosegadamente, añadido al salario de su "carrera" politica. Walpole era un hombre de sociedad. Hacia amigos facilmente, y admirador de las antiguedades. Como no tenia muchas mas cosas que hacer, se dedico a mantener una voluminosa correspondencia con gente de sus mismas ideas y caracter, dejando un enorme cuerpo de miles de cartas que escribio a sus numerosos amigos en Inglaterra y Francia, que segun la consideracion oficial, es lo mas valioso de su obra literaria, que da muestras de la politica, costumbres y arte de su epoca. En 1749, hizo su unica contribucion a la cultura europea comprando Strawberry Hill, una pequeña granja con una gran vista sobre el Tamesis, en una carretera principal cerca de Twickenham, cerca de Londres. Aparte de querer usarla como residencia de verano, intento remodelarla para ir transformandola en un castillo del estilo gotico frances. Escribio a su amigo Sir Horace Mann, que estaba en el servicio diplomatico en Florencia, pidiendole cuantos fragmentos goticos (queria decir con esto artefactos medievales ) se pudieran encontrar a precio barato.

A letter from Horace Walpole about Cook's Voyages Contemporary accounts of Cook's journeys do not always give him the praise or credit for his achievements which we now admit. Certainly Banks (and Solander) featured more prominently in newspaper reports, receiving considerably more public acclaim than Cook after the voyage of the Endeavour This letter was written on June l9th. 1784, after Cook's death and the publication of the "Voyages". It is from Horace Walpole (1717 - 1797). The son of the first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole, he built the "Gothic" Strawberry Hill , was a prominent man of literature in his day and was described by Sir Walter Scott as 'the best letter writer in the English language'. TO THE COUNTESS OF OSSORY. Strawberry Hill. June 19th. 1784. ... Captain Cook's "Voyage" I have neither read nor intend to read. I have seen the prints - a parcel of ugly faces, with blubber lips and flat noses, dressed as unbecomingly as if both sexes were ladies of the first fashion; and rows of savages, with backgrounds of palm trees. Indeed I shall not give five guineas and a half - nay, they sell already for nine, for such uncouth lubbers; nor do I desire to know how unpolished the north or south poles have remained since Adam and Eve were just such mortals... Paul Capper Originally published in Cook's Log , page 303, volume 7, number 4 (1984).
