Description

First published in 1964.  Before the great war Sir Charles Firth used to give from time to time a course of lectures on Macaulay’s History of England. When he undertook the preparation of an illustrated edition of that work, published 1913-15 in six volumes he began to revise his lectures in order to compile from them a commentary on the History. Unfortunately the task of revision was interrupted during the war and never resumed except to publish two articles, on Macaulay’s Third Chapter1 and Macaulay’s Treatment of Scottish History,2 which form chapters vi and viii of this book. Collated in this volume are these works and also commentary whose object is not merely to criticise the statements made by Macaulay and the point of view adopted by him, but also to show the extent to which his conclusions had been invalidated or confirmed by later writers who had devoted their attention to particular parts of his subject, or by the new documentary materials published during the last sixty years.
