History of England From the Fall of Wolsey to the Death of Elizabeth, Volume 10 (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

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. Volume ten opens with a discussion of Elizabeth’s Protestantism and the threat of the Catholic reaction. It closes with the horrific invasion of Ireland, and the misery which follows on both sides in the year 1573.
