Routledge Revivals
Macaulay
First published in 1973 Macaulay explores important aspects of the inter-
relationship between Macaulay’s literary and political careers, sets his
achievements as an author within the context of his achievements as a public
man, and examines some of the sources of his popularity and success. In
doing so, it draws extensively on Macaulay’s journals and other papers at
Trinity College, Cambridge and elsewhere. The emphases of the book are
critical, not biographical, its essential aims the exploration of the range and
quality of Macaulay’s writing and the demonstration of the validity of con-
tinuing to approach him- above all in mature essays and the History of
England - as a narrative artist. This book is a must read for students of
education, history of education, and British history.
