Short Studies on Great Subjects Froude James Anthony

1877. Froude believed that the objective of writing history was simply to record human actions and, as such, should be written as a drama. Accordingly, in his historic accounts he gives prominence to the personal element, but, as a result, he sometimes failed to understand the context of the period on which he was writing. Froude"s work is often criticized for its prejudice and inaccuracy. This volume contains a collection of his essays including: Annals of an English Abbey; Revival of Romanism; Sea Studies; Society in Italy in the Last Days of the Roman Republic; Lucian; Divus Caesar; On the Uses of a Landed Gentry; Party Politics; and Leaves from a South African Journal.
