Excerpt: ... chapter iii. william beckfobd the youngeb--his bieth and education. The late William Beckford of Fonthill Giffard, Wilts, and afterwards of Bath, was born at the former place, September 29th, 1759. His mother was the second wife of the member in parliament for the city for fourteen years preceding, and twice Lord Mayor. She was daughter and coheir of the Hon. George Hamilton, M.P. for Wells. Young Beckford was christened early, the year following his birth, as appears by the following letter from his father to Mr. Pitt, afterwards Earl of Chatham. "Fonthill, January 7th, 1760. "my Dear Sir, "Your very obliging and much-esteemed favour was duly received. I consider it the greatest honor to have such a sponsor to my child. He was made a Christian last night, and Lord Effingham was your proxy. No endeavours of mine shall be wanting (if it please God to spare his life), to instil into his mind principles of religion, honor, and love of country. It is true those are old-fashioned principles; but they are such as you approve and practise. "Nothing could give me more pleasure than to take your opinion on my present works, and to regulate my future operations by your advice and judgment. But I cannot flatter myself so much as to think it possible to enjoy that comfort, until you have first procured for your country a safe, honorable, and lasting peace. "I am, my dear Sir, "Your ever faithful and affectionate, "Humble servant, "W. Beckford." At the earliest possible time that impressions of any value in education can be made upon the youthful mind, a preparatory tutor was provided for young Beckford, under whom he remained until he had seen eleven summers; at which time, in 1771, Dr. W.

Book excerpt: William Beckford had two lives: one real and sensational, the other an elegant forgery he invented in retirement after the young Disraeli mischievously sent him a homoerotic epic based loosely on Beckford's own career. Biographers have been bemused by Beckford's faked letters and dream encounters with celebrities, but his real life was far more significant: he is the pivotal Romantic between Horace Walpole and Byron. Beckford was reared in exotic isolation in a Palladian palace where he grew up obsessed with dark grottoes, towers and images of the living dead. Rushed into marriage by an apprehensive mother, he indulged his actual passions (both legal and paedophile) until a Tory administration staged a sex scandal that exiled him. In his absence his novel, Vathek was treacherously pirated. Returned to England, Beckford flung his wealth into the creation of Fonthill Abbey, which, by its shadowy vistas and glamorous camp furnishings, paved the way for the wildest excesses of Victorian taste.
