His literary reputation rests on his Gothic novel, The Castle of Otranto and his Letters, which are of significant social and political interest.He was the son of the first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole. As he was childless, his barony descended to his cousin of the same surname, who was created the new Earl of Orford. |
