Recenzje

Green's newly published edition of Macaulay's correspondence allows us to understand the historian and political figure in her own terms as opposed to a representative of a supposedly coherent commonwealth or republican tradition, as she has often been considered since the work of Caroline Robbins and J. G. A. Pocock. Her contextually rich intellectual biography is strengthened by her immersion in Macaulay's correspondence and, for this reason alone, it offers a significant advancement on Hill's pioneering study from 1992.
