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.
