Více o knize

A critical analysis of Victorian historian James Anthony Froude's work, this book delves into his interpretations of significant figures and events in English history, such as Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. Charles Kingsley challenges Froude's tendency to glorify Tudor monarchs while criticizing their adversaries. Despite his critiques, Kingsley recognizes Froude's valuable contributions, including his use of original sources and focus on social contexts. This examination encourages readers to thoughtfully engage with historical narratives and the era's historiography.
