Horace Walpole
Horace Walpole (1717–1797), son of Sir Robert Walpole, went to Eton and King's College, Cambridge, and built Strawberry Hill as a Gothic toy that became a style. The Castle of Otranto put a giant helmet on English fiction and invented a taste: vaults, lineage, a past that will not stay buried. Historic Doubts on the Life and Reign of King Richard the Third shows the same restless elegance on history. Wit, in a haunted corridor.
