A landmark in female historiography, this work first appeared in
eight volumes between 1763 and 1783. Notable for her radical
politics and her influence on American revolutionary ideology,
Catharine Macaulay (1731 91) drew diligently on untapped
seventeenth-century sources to craft her skilful yet inevitably
biased narrative. Seen as a Whig response to David Hume's Tory
perspective on English history, the early volumes made Macaulay a
literary sensation in the 1760s. Later instalments were less
rapturously received by those critics who took exception to her
republican views. Both the product and a portrait of tumultuous
ages, the work maintains throughout a strong focus on the fortunes
of political liberty. Volume 2 (1765) opens in 1628 with the
abortive English attempts to relieve the siege of La Rochelle. The
volume concludes with the execution of the Earl of Strafford in
1641."
