(Charles) Froude's History of England Transcribed from “Plays and Puritans and Other Historical Essays” 1890 Macmillan and Co. edition by David Price "Froude's History of England" by Charles Kingsley is a historical account written in the mid-19th century, specifically in the Victorian era. This book engages with the significant events in English history, notably focusing on the period from the fall of Cardinal Wolsey to the death of Queen Elizabeth I. The work addresses the complexities of the Reformation and the characters involved, emphasizing the moral and political dimensions of the time. Kingsley's commentary on Froude's history examines the author's approach to historiography, particularly Froude's tendency to provide a more humanized and reverent portrayal of historical figures compared to his predecessors. He critiques the modern historiographical trend that often portrays past societies as inferior or foolish, arguing instead for a recognition of their dignity and complexity. Through a series of character studies and analyses of sociopolitical contexts, the book invites readers to appreciate the nuances of historical narratives, urging a respectful understanding of ancestry while considering the implications of historical actions on present and future societies.
