The Victorians and the Stuart Heritage - Interpretations of a Discordant Past

This 1995 book explores how a group of nineteenth-century British historians came to terms with one of the formative periods in their nation's past - the seventeenth century. Included are well-known figures such as Macaulay and Carlyle, who are of interest to literary scholars as well as to historians, and more specialized writers such as Henry Hallam and S. R. Gardiner.
