A brisk, illuminating voyage through novels of power, faith, and public life. Essays In Literature And History pairs sharp intellect with a humane eye, inviting readers to see how ideas about monarchy, empire, religion, and politics shaped the world-and how literature reveals those shifts with quiet force. This late nineteenth¿century non fiction collection offers close readings that fuse literary essays with historical analysis, tracing literature and history themes from Victorian England to the dawning Edwardian essay tradition. Froude's voices move from intimate reflections to broad cultural critique, making it a timely study for students, librarians, and curious readers alike. The work stands as both a scholarly touchstone and a richly readable companion, essential for anyone exploring Victorian historiography works or the era's public life. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this edition is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure - it broadens access to a classic voice whose ideas still spark debate about power, faith, and the responsibilities of history. A perfect choice for the casual reader drawn to literary essays and for the academic reading audience seeking grounded, humanist scholarship. A necessary addition to any collection for librarians and serious enthusiasts of late nineteenth century Britain.
James Anthony Froude was a prominent English historian, biographer, and essayist, born on April 23, 1818, in Dartington, Devon, England. He is best known for his works on the history of England and his biographies of significant figures from the Tudor period. Froude was educated at Westminster School and Oriel College, Oxford. He developed a keen interest in history and literature, particularly in the period of the English Reformation. His writings often reflect his controversial views on religious and political matters, which garnered both acclaim and criticism. One of Froude's most notable works is "The History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada," a monumental historical series spanning six volumes. In this series, Froude provides a vivid and dramatic account of the tumultuous events during the reigns of the Tudor monarchs, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Aside from his historical writings, Froude also penned biographies of notable figures such as Thomas Carlyle. His works often tackled complex themes and explored the intersection of politics, religion, and society. James Anthony Froude's writings continue to be studied and debated by scholars, making him a significant figure in the field of historical literature.
