Synopsis
Excerpt from Select Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley Pope and Gray, artificial in their poetry, were not less artificial in their correspondence; but while in the former department of cd'ifiposition they strove to display their art, in the latter their no less successful endeavour was to con ceal it. Together with Cowper and Walpole, they achieved the feat of imparting a literary value to ordinary topics by studious elaboration and precise nicety of expression, without at the same time sacrificing the familiar ease Without which letters become rhetorical exercises. Such an achievement demanded more leisure and less absorbing emotion than fell to the lot of the succeeding age.

This pretension can rarely be advanced in favour of familiar letters, written in haste for the information or entertainment of private friends. Such letters are frequently among the most delightful of literary compositions, but the stamp of absolute literary perfection is rarely impressed upon them. The exceptions to this rule, in English literature at least, occur principally in the epistolary literature of the eighteenth century.
