The Lewis Walpole Library Lecture
In recent years the
Lewis Walpole Library Lecture has brought noted scholars in the field of
eighteenth-century studies to New
Haven to speak on a topic often, but not always,
directly related to the collection. The Lewis Walpole Library Lecture is now
an established feature of Yale's intellectual calendar.
