The History of England from the Accession of James II, Vol. V (in Five Volumes) - With a Memoir of Lord Macaulay and a Sketch of Lord Macaulay's Life a (Paperback)

Editor name not noted above: Lady Trevelyan. Perhaps the most famous example of the "Whig interpretation of history"-the idea that the human story has been inevitably destined for enlightenment, progress, and scientific truth-this five-volume work instantly revolutionized the British understanding of history when its first volume was published in 1848. Though not without its detractors-Karl Marx called author BARON THOMAS BABINGTON MACAULAY (1800-1859), an English politician and historian, "a systematic falsifier of history"-it nevertheless became a standard text, and one that is today required reading for anyone who wishes to explore changing values and ideals in historical scholarship. Volume V opens with acts of mutiny and the controversy over standing armies and continues through the death of William of Orange in 1702. It also features the complete index for all five volumes.
