THE WRITER'S MASTERY IN THE LANGUAGE AND STYLE OF THE LETTERS

This article examines the linguistic and stylistic manifestations of artistic mastery in the epistolary discourse of Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield, with particular reference to his celebrated Letters to His Son written between 1737 and 1768. The study explores how Chesterfield employs the expressive possibilities of the English language to construct an intellectually refined, morally educated, and socially accomplished ideal of the eighteenth-century gentleman. The research demonstrates that the writer’s epistolary style combines philosophical reflection, didactic instruction, rhetorical sophistication, and aesthetic elegance, thereby transforming private correspondence into an important literary and cultural phenomenon of the Enlightenment period.
