Macaulay and Son: Architects of Imperial Britain

Thomas Babington Macaulay's History Of England Was A Phenomenal Victorian Best-seller Which Shaped Much More Than The Literary Culture Of The Times: It Defined A Nation's Sense Of Self, Charting The Rise Of The British Isles To Its Triumph As A Homogenous Nation, A Safeguard Of The Freedom Of Belief And Expression, And A Central World Power. In This Book Catherine Hall Explores The Emotional, Intellectual, And Political Roots Of Thomas Macaulay's Vision Of England, Tracing The Influence Of His Father's Career As A Colonial Governor And Drawing Illuminating Comparisons Between The Two Men.
