Description

Sir Hugh Seymour Walpole was an English novelist. Walpole was determined to be accepted as the equal of Anthony Trollope and Henry James. In his early days, he received frequent and generally approving scrutiny from major literary figures. Virginia Woolf praised his gift for seizing on telling detail: "it is no disparagement to a writer to say that his gift is for the small things rather than for the large... If you are faithful with the details the large effects will grow inevitably out of those very details". Joseph Conrad said of him, "We see Mr. Walpole grappling with the truth of things spiritual and material with his characteristic earnestness, and we can discern the characteristics of this acute and sympathetic explorer of human nature."
