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.
