Description

J. C. Beaglehole, best known as a historian and Cook scholar, was also a passionate writer of letters.

He wrote frequently, at length, and throughout his life, to family, friends and colleagues— wittily, affectionately, intimately, eruditely, acerbically, and always with an eye to style—and left a large and rich correspondence. This selection, made by his son and biographer, has been chosen to reflect the range of Beaglehole’s associations and interests—in history, particularly his scholarly field of Cook and the Pacific, in music, art and architecture, typography and publishing, and friendship—and to showcase his epistolary virtuosity. Writing was J. C. Beaglehole’s preferred mode of expression, and his letters, conversational and crafted in equal measure, are a unique window on the mind and character of a remarkably gifted, imaginative, and scholarly man.
