Lives and Letters: Thomas Creevey's Papers, 1793-1838

The publication of The Creevey Papers in 1903 established Thomas Creevey's reputation as a discerning, sprightly, prejudiced, thoroughly indiscreet and vastly entertaining social, political and domestic commentator. Consisiting of letters to his step-daughter, Elizabeth Ord, extracts from his journals and letters from various figures notable in the upper circles in which he moved, the Papers provide an intimate and exclusive glimpse into Regency high society.
