Kurzbeschreibung
Horace Walpole (1717-1797), as the youngest son of the powerful Whig minister Robert Walpole, grew up at the centre of Georgian society and politics and circulated amongst the elite literary, aesthetic, and intellectual circles of his day. His brilliant letters and writings have made him the best-known commentator on the rich cultural life of eighteenth-century England. In his own day, he was most famous for his extraordinary collections of rare books and manuscripts, antiquities, paintings, prints and drawings, furniture, ceramics, arms and armour, and curiosities, all displayed at his pioneering Gothic Revival house at Strawberry Hill, on the banks of the Thames at Twickenham. This timely and groundbreaking study of the history and reception of Walpole's collection as it was formed and arranged at Strawberry Hill coincides with a planned restoration of this endangered house. Horace Walpole's "Strawberry Hill" assembles an international team of distinguished scholars to explore the ways in which Strawberry Hill and its collections engaged with the creation of various and interconnected political, national, dynastic, cultural, and imagined histories.

Horace's House
20. Februar 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a serious coffee table book whose contents quite knowledgeably describe, in great detail, the extent and meaning of the collection assembled by the 18th century's Horace Walpole for his gothic fantasy residence. It has many lovely illustrations and pictures.
For those who hanker to know more about the famous English house, Strawberry Hill and/or the efforts of Walpole in assembling his varied collection of artistic and historical this and that, this book would be an excellent purchase.
However, the ordinary reader will probably be safe in not buying-- given the book's deep scholarly articles, a distant subject matter, and steep price.
