Historian, essayist and poet, Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-59)
is described by his biographer as possessing a mind that was born
wise and nurtured to a state of brilliance. With an ability to
imbue his most scholarly works with a narrative power 'on a level
with that of the greatest masters of prose fiction', Macaulay's
multi-volume History of England assured his fame in middle-class
Victorian households. Nevertheless, few today are familiar with the
author's personal history. Published in the first series of English
Men of Letters in 1882, this biography by James Cotter Morison
(1832-88) introduces readers to the main influences on Macaulay's
life and work from his childhood, through his days at Trinity
College, Cambridge, to the writing of his History. The result is a
sympathetic and detailed portrait of a man whose life was shaped by
literature.
