520 _a"Elizabeth Montagu, the Queen of the Bluestockings, Volume 1 (of 2): Her Correspondence from 1720 to 1761" by Emily J. Climenson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume presents a compilation of letters and correspondences centered around Elizabeth Montagu, a prominent figure in 18th-century intellectual society, often referred to as a bluestocking due to her engagement in literary and philosophical discussions.

The opening of the volume sets the stage for Montagu's story, beginning with details about her lineage and early life.
