• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Viewing history as a grand drama, Froude emphasized great personalities and disdained the scientific approach in his historical writing. This epic, twelve-volume narrative presents a vivid portrait of a tumultuous era. Volume three opens with a discussion of the Protextant reformation, and its effects both at home and abroad. Froude ends with a description of the character and administration of Thomas Cromwell, and his eventual fall in 1540.

Autorenporträt

James Anthony Froude (1818-1894) was an English historian, biographer, and novelist. His histories, modeled on those of his friend Thomas Carlyle, were fiercely polemical, as was his own The Nemesis of Faith, which questioned the Anglican church. His biography of Carlyle, Life of Carlyle (1882-84), proved intensely controversial in focusing on the great man's flaws as well as his virtues.
