These labors would in themselves have rendered the name of Horace Walpole famous for all time, but his delightful Letters are the crowning glory of his life.
His correspondents were numerous and widespread, but the chief of them were William Cole (1714-1782), the clerical antiquary of Milton; Robert Jephson, the dramatist; William Mason, the poet; Lord Hertford during his embassy in Paris; the countess of Ossory; Lord Harcourt; George Montagu, his friend at Eton; Henry Seymour Conway (1721-1795) and Sir Horace Mann.
With most of these friends he quarrelled, but the friendship of the last two, in the former case through genuine liking, and in the latter through his fortunate absence from England, was never interrupted.

The events were dated to the period of the crusades but the Italian was of a kind current in about 1500, and it was suggested that it had been published as a Catholic riposte to the attack on superstition mounted by the proponents of the Reformation.
This much was obfuscation, though of an interesting kind, since the story was actually written by Horace Walpole, the aristocratic son of Sir Robert Walpole, the political superman of the early eighteenth century, and on his own account an antiquary, art historian and letter-writer.
The novel was adapted for the stage, with Walpole's assistance, by Robert Jephson under the title The Count of Narbonne; largely dispensing with unstageable elements of the supernatural, it had a successful run in 1781-2.

 Personal recollections of Lord Cloncurry
Jephson was nephew to the well-known " Roman-Portrait Jephson," author of the "Count of Narbonne," who, like himself, was endowed with an extraordinary brilliancy of wit.
He lived at the Blackrock, in a house which still remains, nearly opposite Maretimo, and was, for a considerable period, the salaried poet laureate of the viceregal court.
The dinner was given to the Lord Lieutenant, the Marquis of Buckingham, who happened to observe, in an unlucky mirror, the reflection of Jephson in the act of mimicking himself.

 From Gothic Novel to Gothic Drama   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Two of the plays excerpted here are adaptations of popular Gothic novels: The Count of Narbonne is based on Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, and The Italian Monk is based on Ann Radcliffe's The Italian.
Two others are plays written by well-known authors of classic gothic novels: The Castle Spectre was written by Matthew G. Lewis, author of The Monk, and Bertram was written by Charles Robert Maturin, author of Melmoth the Wanderer.
The remaining play, De Monfort, differs interestingly from the other works of its author, Joanna Baillie: While many of her works were "closet plays," meant to be read rather than performed, De Monfort was produced and performed with marked success.
