Description
Lord Chesterfield's Letters offer a unique insight into the life and correspondence of one of 18th-century England's most influential statesmen. Written to his son Philip from 1737, these letters provide instruction in etiquette and worldly arts, reflecting the political craft of their time. The letters reveal Chesterfield's views on politics, good breeding, and the social conventions of his era, as well as his association with prominent figures such as Pope, Addison, and Swift. Originally not intended for publication, this correspondence now illuminates fascinating aspects of eighteenth-century life and manners. This volume is part of Oxford World's Classics, a series that has made available a wide range of literature from around the globe for over 100 years.
