About the Book

"Froude's History of England" is a work of historical literature written by the English author and clergyman Charles Kingsley. The book is a critical analysis of the works of James Anthony Froude, a prominent historian of the Victorian era. In the book, Kingsley examines Froude's portrayal of key events and figures in English history, including Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, and Mary Queen of Scots. Kingsley takes issue with Froude's tendency to glorify the Tudor monarchs, particularly Henry VIII, and to demonize their opponents. Despite his criticisms, Kingsley acknowledges Froude's contributions to the field of history, particularly his use of original source material and his attention to social and cultural contexts. Overall, "Froude's History of England" is an important work of historical criticism that sheds light on the Victorian era's approach to the study of history, and that encourages readers to engage thoughtfully with the works of historical writers.
