Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Elizabethan Religious Settlement a Study of Contemporary Documents The late Lord Acton held that "History differs from other sciences by confining the author to matter supplied by the sources. The author does not put in reflections, combinations, explanations of his own not suggested or furnished by his materials"; further, he emphasised the need of "self-denial, which is the condition of scientific history," found fault with "copiousness and superabundance of style," and praised "the verification of quotations." I have had these principles constantly before me in preparing the following pages; trying, moreover, always to remember another saying of the same eminent worker, that "in history the historian has to disappear and leave the facts and ideas objectively to produce their own effect." But it has been no easy matter to glean where Mr. J. A. Froude has garnered. He has cast the glamour of his matchless and picturesque style over the spacious days of Queen Elizabeth; and the glowing colours of his canvas, boldly and broadly laid on, yet with the deft cunning of the true artist, cannot but pale the efforts of others to illustrate that period.
