| Summary | "The Family Letters of Oliver Goldsmith" by Ernest Clarke is a scholarly collection of letters written by the renowned Irish writer Oliver Goldsmith, dating from the mid-18th century to the late 18th century. This book primarily captures Goldsmith's correspondence with his family and friends, showcasing his personal thoughts, experiences, and emotional landscape. It offers insights into Goldsmith's character through the lens of his relationships and familial ties. The collection is divided into three main series of letters from different periods of Goldsmith's life: while he was a student, during his early career struggles, and after he found literary success. These letters reveal a man who, despite his literary prowess, grappled with personal and financial struggles, reflecting his warmth and affection towards family members. His correspondence highlights his longing for connection, his sense of duty toward his family, and his vulnerability in facing the challenges of life. The letters encapsulate Goldsmith's personality, providing a deeper understanding of the man behind the literary figure as he navigated his path from obscurity to recognition.
