Summary: "Elizabeth Montagu, the Queen of the Bluestockings: Her Correspondence from 1720 to 1761" by Emily J. Climenson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work sheds light on the life and correspondence of Elizabeth Montagu, who was an influential figure in the intellectual society of the 18th century known as a bluestocking. The book aims to illustrate her relationships and social circle while providing insights into the customs, fashions, and events of her time, revealing her multifaceted personality as a devoted wife, gifted conversationalist, and active social figure. The opening of the narrative establishes a familial and social backdrop to Elizabeth Montagu's early life. It introduces her lineage and significant connections, particularly through her correspondence with the Duchess of Portland, which begins when she is still a young girl. This correspondence and the various letters included serve to illustrate not only her personal relationships but also the societal norms and cultural exchanges of her time. As the chapters unfold, readers will encounter Elizabeth's vivacious nature, her involvement in social activities, and her initial struggles, all of which set the stage for her later prominence in intellectual circles.
