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. The fifth volume covers the years 1547 through 1553, the brief reign of Edward VI under the protectorate of his uncle, Edward Seymour.
