Default ABOUT ENGLISH AUTHOR HORACE WALPOLE (1717-1797)

The facts speak for themselves, much like an asshole farts for itself
and should be punished firmly.

In 1737 Walpole's mother died. According to one biographer his love for
his mother "was the most powerful emotion of his entire life...the whole
of his psychological history was dominated by it".[4]:44 Walpole did not
have any serious relationships with women; he has been called "a natural
celibate".[4]:47 Walpole's sexual orientation has been the subject of
speculation. He never married, engaging in a succession of unconsummated
flirtations with unmarriageable women, and counted among his close
friends a number of women such as Anne Seymour Damer and Mary Berry
named by a number of sources as *******.[5] Many contemporaries
described him as effeminate (one political opponent called him "a
hermaphrodite horse").[1] Biographers such as Timothy Mowl[6] explore
his possible homosexuality, including a passionate but ultimately
unhappy love affair with the 9th Earl of Lincoln. Some previous
biographers such as Lewis, Fothergill, and Robert Wyndham Ketton-Cremer,
however, have interpreted Walpole as asexual.[
