Summary "A. W. Kinglake: A Biographical and Literary Study" by William Tuckwell is a biographical and literary analysis written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the life and contributions of Alexander William Kinglake, an influential English writer and historian known for his travel writings, particularly "Eothen," and later for his detailed account of the Crimean War. The book provides insights into his character, literary style, and the societal context in which he lived. The opening of the biography sets the tone for an exploration of Kinglake's early years and the cultural milieu that shaped him. Tuckwell begins by reflecting on Kinglake's legacy and the urgency to document his life while the memories of his peers still linger. He delves into Kinglake's Scottish ancestry, his upbringing in Taunton, and educational experiences at various schools, including Eton and Cambridge. The passage brings to life the influences that informed Kinglake's literary voice, illustrating his early existence filled with aspirations and the development of a critical perspective towards societal conventions. Employing a rich narrative style, Tuckwell captures the essence of Kinglake's distinct personality and foreshadows the impact his writings would have on English literature.
