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 eight begins with a discussion of the Irish—their attitudes toward the English, and vice-versa—and it ends with a discussion of seaborne trade, including slavery.
