The History of England From the Fall of Wolsey to the Death of Elizabeth, Volume 6 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

by James Anthony Froude

Overview

Viewing history as a grand drama, Froude emphasized great personalities and disdained the scientific approach in his historical writing. This epic, twelve-volume narrative presents a vivid portrait of a tumultuous era. The sixth volume begins with the death of Edward VI in 1553 and the dispute over the crown between Lady Jane Grey and Mary Tudor. It then follows "Bloody Mary" through her reign, until her death in 1558.

About the Author

James Anthony Froude (1818-1894) was an English historian, biographer, and novelist.  His histories, modeled on those of his friend Thomas Carlyle, were fiercely polemical, as was his own The Nemesis of Faith, which questioned the Anglican church.  His biography of Carlyle, Life of Carlyle (1882-84), proved intensely controversial in focusing on the great man's flaws as well as his virtues.
