Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life Correspondence Collections of Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel: "Father of Vertu in England" To the Walpole Society, of which she was at first the only woman member, she sent articles in conjunction with Dr Lionel Cust on Haunce Eworth, and on The Lumley Inventories. The last effort of a mind cultivated by years of unremitting labour and trained observation, was this Life of Lord Arundel, a towering figure in the disturbed history of the seventeenth century, and rightly designated by Horace Walpole, on the side of Art, as the "Father of Vertu in England". The book represents over nine years of concentrated study, careful research among original sources, and patient literary effort in the face, as it neared its completion, of serious illness and consequent suffering. The biography having been accepted for publication by the Cambridge University Press, Miss Hervey thought it advisable to send in the greater part of the MSS. to be printed, intending to finish the manuscript as the proofs proceeded through the press. The illness however advanced with such rapidity that when the first proofs arrived she held them in her hands but could not read them. Within a few days of their arrival she passed away. Two chapters remained to be written. It has been the privilege of the writer of this brief Prelude to complete the work. But for the verbal instructions of the author, in many previous conversations, and her written memoranda as to the scheme for the concluding pages, supplemented with many notes as to details, it would have been impossible for anyone but the Author to complete the task. With these however to refer to for guidance, and with the ever present recollection of the years of patient labour spent upon the book the writer has endeavoured to carry forward the biography on the same lines, as nearly as possible, as those chosen by the author in her original composition.
