Encyclopedia Britannica Fonthill Abbey Lansdowne Hill , near Bath, where he continued to reside till his death in 1844. His first work, Biographical Memoirs of Extraordinary Painters (1780) The History of the Caliph Vatlick , which appeared in English, translated by the Rev. Samuel Henley, in 1786 and has taken its place as one of the finest productions of luxuriant imagination. Encyclopedia Britannica William Beckford, 1760-1844: eccentric English dilettante, author of the Gothic novel Vathek Fonthill Abbey James Wyatt , but Beckford himself supervised the planning and building of what became the most extraordinary house in England. He lived there as a recluse, collecting curios, costly furnishings and works of art and reading the library of Edward Gibbon, which he had purchased in its entirety. In 1807 the house's great central tower collapsed and was rebuilt. Beckford's extravagances forced him to sell his estate in 1822. The tower later collapsed again, destroying part of the building. Beckford's literary reputation rests solely on Vathek. Though all agree that it is uneven and stylistically uncertain, the strength of its final image has sustained Beckford's reputation for more than two centuries. A classic among Gothic novels, the book is a masterpiece of fantastic invention and bizarre detail. Among Beckford's other published works are accounts of his travels, two parodies of Gothic and sentimental novels, and a journal, Life at Fonthill, 1807-22.

His mother was Maria Hamilton, a granddaughter of the sixth Earl of Abercorn. In 1777 he travelled to Switzerland and Italy, where he stayed with his cousin Sir William Hamilton and his wife Lady Catherine Hamilton. The latter became a close friend and adviser. Back in London he was romantically involved with Louise Beckford, the wife of a cousin, and then with William Courtenay, a thirteen year old boy. To avoid a huge scandal he was sent abroad once more and travelled through Europe. He was with the Hamiltons when Catherine died. This was a huge blow to him and he returned to London where he wrote "Dreams". In 1783 he married Lady Margaret Gordon and in 1784 he entered Parliament. The 'Powderham Scandal' resulted is his leaving England once more. His wife died soon after the birth of their second daughter of puerperal fever and for twelve years he travelled through Europe, collecting books, paintings and all kinds of curiosities. Beckford spent a large part of his later life in complete isolation in Fonthill Abbey, a large house in gothic style especially built for him. Here he kept his enormous collections. The house had cost him around 273,000 pounds and financial problems forced him to sell it in 1822, together with part of his collections.

William Beckford (1760-1844) Elegiac Sonnet to a Mopstick Straight remnant of the spiry birchen bough, That over the streamlet wont perchance to quake Thy many twinkling leaves and, bending low, Beheld thy white rind dancing on the lake How doth thy present state, poor stick! awake My pathosfor, alas! even stripped as thou May be my beating breast, if ever forsake Philisto this poor heart; and break his vow. So musing on, I fare with many a sigh And meditating then on times long past, To thee, lorn pole! I look with tearful eye, As all beside the floor-soiled pail thou art cast; And my sad thoughts, while I behold thee twirled, Turn on the twistings of this troublous world.
