This essay, which won the Prince Consort Prize for 1950, treats of
the revolutionary change in historical writing that followed the
entry into England, early in the nineteenth century, of the ideas
of Vico and of the German historical school. Chiefly through
Coleridge's influence, eighteenth-century rationalist suppositions
gave place in certain men to a fundamentally opposed, 'Romantic'
philosophy, and so to a new kind of History. Mr. Forbes is
particularly concerned with the part played in this revolution by
the liberal Anglicans: Thomas Arnold, Headmaster of Rugby and
Regius Professsor of Modern History at Oxford; Richard Whitely,
Professor of Political Economy at Oxford and Archbishop of Dublin;
Julius Charles Hare, disciple of Coleridge and translator (with
Thirlwall) of Niebuhr's History of Rome; Connop Thirlwall, Bishop
of St David's and author of the History of Greece; Henry Hart
Milman, Professor of Poetry and Oxford and Dean of St Paul's;
Arthur Penrhyn Stanley, pupil and biographer of Thomas Arnold, and
Dean of Westminster. They have elsewhere been studied in the
compartments of 'classical' and 'ecclesiastical' history. But it is
fundamental to their outlook on Church and State that for them no
such compartments existed, and their idea of History as a whole has
hitherto lacked an English historian. This essay does much more
than clarify technical problems in one of the various ideas of
History embraced in Professor Toynbee's system. Mr. Forbes
addresses his book to all students of nineteenth-century thought.
