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 seven commences with the accession of Queen Elizabeth, following her reign until the mid-1560s, closing with a chapter on Mary Stuart and the diplomatic relations between England and Spain.
Giới thiệu về tác giả
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.
