A HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN
R. B. MOWAT
A History of Great Britain has been written many times; and as one new history follows another, doubt is sometimes expressed concerning the need for yet one more. Nevertheless, if new textbooks were never written, both teaching and learning would soon become stereotyped. It is true that the facts remain the same, but the current views about them vary almost from year to year and the educational value, which offers varies from period to period. But the present book narrates the histories on a grand scale, such as those written by Macaulay, Froude, freeman, Gardiner, and Lecky, these, which dealt only with special periods of English History, had comparatively little effect upon textbooks.
This book is a work of genius, and still stands unrivalled for its literary beauty, its imaginativeness, its sympathetic rendering of the past.
