J.A. Froude

Summary

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 second volume begins with a discussion of earlier challenges to Christian orthodoxy, such as John Wycliffe's teachings in the 14th century, and ends with the trial and death of Anne Boleyn in 1536
