Horace Walpole was born in 1717, the youngest son of politician Robert Walpole, and became a writer, historian, and art enthusiast. After studying at Cambridge, he held parliamentary seats before retiring to focus on his writing and collections. His most famous work, The Castle of Otranto, is often credited as the first Gothic novel, a genre he helped establish.Walpole was deeply interested in antiquarianism and transformed his home, Strawberry Hill, into a Gothic-style castle. His writings ranged from history to letters, but his supernatural works are what solidified his place in literary history. His sharp wit and unique style made him a standout figure in 18th-century English society.Walpole's influence on literature lasted long after his death in 1797. His pioneering Gothic works inspired generations of writers, and his contributions to art history helped preserve valuable treasures. He is remembered as a key figure in the development of English literature's darker, imaginative traditions.
