| Summary |
"Elizabeth Montagu, the Queen of the Bluestockings, Volume 2" by Emily J. Climens is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the correspondence of Elizabeth Montagu, a leading intellectual figure of the Bluestocking society, spanning from 1720 to 1761. The book likely delves into her relationships, her intellectual pursuits, and her social life during a time marked by Enlightenment thought and the emergence of women in the literary sphere. The opening of this volume begins with a transcriber's note and a detailed table of contents, outlining various letters and events that encapsulate a specific period of Montagu's life in the years 1752 to 1754. Highlights include her exchanges with notable figures of the time, such as Mr. Pitt and various members of her family and friends. These letters reveal elements of Montagu’s personal life, such as her reflections on friendships, health, and societal observations, providing rich insight into the social dynamics and cultural atmosphere of 18th-century England.
