Henri IV
5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Brainwasher in the History of England
Reviewed in the United States on February 18, 2020
Verified Purchase
I've now reached the fourth of the five volumes of Macaulay's *History of England from the Accession...*. All of the volumes are at the moment free on Kindle, and will probably be free for the foreseeable future on Google Books and archive.org.

Macaulay's writing is incomparable. As far as the technical side of being a historian goes, everything he says is extensively documented from primary (though often inaccessible) sources, while his postmodern colleagues are satisfied by citing books written by their girlfriends, if they bother citing sources at all.

It is frightening to think about the degree to which Macaulay's opinions have persuaded all of us. Who doesn't think of the Stuarts as tyrants, at best?

5.0 out of 5 stars Rich prose, fascinating history, well adapted to Kindle
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2012

Now well into volume 3, I'm absorbed in this richly detailed tale of the events leading up to and, in this volume, after the Glorious Revolution that overthrew James II and put William and Mary on a precarious throne. Macaulay's prose awes and delights me. Reading history at night used to be a sure way of avoiding getting caught up in a story I couldn't put down; not this series. Why read the shortened Trevor Roper version when you can luxuriate in this grand tapestry? Thanks to the editors who implemented easy access to footnotes and return. That reminds me of one cautionary note: Macaulay doesn't bother to offer a translation of lengthy footnotes in Latin, French or Dutch. I suppose his readers at the time wouldn't have had a problem with that. I'm grateful to Amazon and editors for making great works from the past available at little or no cost.

It amazes me how much this account of the end of a kingly family and the rise of another informs the political disputes and dangers which afflict our present age here in America. Rebels against the Crown we were but treaty has repaired that division. The awful excesses and vengeances of Whigs and Tories, moderated by the solemn moderation of the new King, William, paint a picture both ghastly and too possible for us, here, in the USA. Heaven forfend we should have to learn anew the terrible lessons in compromise and tolerance learned by old England at such price of blood and treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Work Manifests Macaulay's Genius
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2016

This volume, along with all of the others of this magnum opus, is impossible to put down. Tell your significant other you will be late for dinner; tell your boss you will be late for work. Once caught in the purity of Macaulay's prose and his richly textured narrative, you can't be held responsible to outside obligations. Thanks to Amazon for making this immortal work available at no additional charge.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great History and Great Writing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2018
Verified Purchase
I'm reading this for the second time, picking up on the points I missed first time. This time I was able to download it on Kindle at no cost. And what a reward for that outlay! Macaulay repays reading for two reasons: his knowledge in detail of the history and the style of his writing. Download as well his life and letters written by his nephew G M Trevelyan, a historian of great eminence himself. He reveals that Macaulay took great pains with his writing, searching for the right word, sometimes rewriting a sentence or even a paragraph to get the effect he wanted. He wanted his history to read like a novel and the worldwide sales of it indicated his success. Some critics say there's too much of Macaulay in the history - you can search that out online - but there is a mastery of detail in the book and those who read will be greatly informed about the period. At the moment I am reading his description of the state of Manchester, York, Nottingham, Sheffield and other county towns at the time of Charles II and of London at the same time. A recent headline in a national daily proclaimed that in the 21st century the police have lost control of the streets. Macaulay reveals it is not a new phenomenon and there were areas in London which were very unsafe at nights. He describes in interesting detail the extent of the city at that time and the small extent of the county towns then. Macaulay describes the conflicts between Whigs and Tories and the never ending tension between Anglicanism and Non-conformity. He describes the untrustworthiness of Charles I and the debauchery and wastefulness of Charles II. I won't go on. The learned historian will have more critical views of it, but the average reader will find it interesting, illuminating and informative. Highly recommended on those grounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent Account of a Seminal Period
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 5, 2014
Verified Purchase
Macaulay's great history with this posthumously published volume which takes us to the death of the author's hero, William III. This is one of the seminal works of English historiography but is sadly neglected of late. Macaulay has been castigated as being a proponent f the 'Whig view of history' ( which actually has a lot to commend it). but his massive work can hardly be so typified. His eruption was immense, his search of the usual and unusual sources was formidable, and his ability to capture the reader with his striking language is almost without parallel. After this account of a seminal period in British history all others are insipid. Read it!

I expected this to be hard going, I was wrong. It was a really fascinating read once the form is adjusted to. You can thill to the very stylish approach of the writer. This is great history as drama. Very Imperialist but readable.
