Om bidragsyterne

Horace Walpole (1717-1797) was the youngest son of Sir Robert Walpole, Britain's 'first prime minister.' Educated at Eton and King's College, Cambridge, he was an antiquary, an historian, a Member of Parliament, a novelist and a printer. He famously remodelled his house at Strawberry Hill in the Gothic style and in 1791 succeeded to the title of fourth Earl of Orford.
