Hello, I hoped you could help me with a thing; I was always interested in what books my favorite historical figures were reading and I searched for the books the Duke of Wellington was reading and I didn't find any information ; I'll be much obligated to you if you could help me ❤
I’m afraid it appears that he wasn’t that great a reader of books. He'd read up on subjects that were currently of interest to him but otherwise, the news, the immense amounts of letters he received, read and responded to every day and work-related reading would have been his main reading material.We do have the luggage lists from the ship when he was sent to India (and returend) though, and at that time, at least, he had packed a ridiculous number of books. Going by that, it appears he had a thing for romance novels.
