This book offers the first comprehensive treatment of the historian
and public moralist E. A. Freeman since the publication of W. R. W.
Stephens' Life and Letters of Edward A. Freeman (1895). While
Freeman is often viewed by modern scholars as a panegyrist to
English progress and a proponent of Aryan racial theory, this study
suggests that his world-view was more complicated than it appears.
Revisiting Freeman's most important historical works, this book
positions Thomas Arnold as a significant influence on Freeman's
view of world-historical development. Conceptualising the past as
cyclical rather than unilinear, and defining race in terms of
culture, rather than biology, Freeman's narratives were pervaded by
anxieties about recapitulation. Ultimately, this study shows that
Freeman's scheme of universal history was based on the idea of
conflict between Euro-Christendom and the Judeo-Islamic Orient, and
this shaped his engagement with contemporary issues. -- .
