Life and Letters of Lord Macaulay. Volume 1
Sir George Otto Trevelyan was Thomas Babington Macaulay's nephew, and his Life and Letters, published in 1876, is one of the classic Victorian biographies, built around Macaulay's own lively letters. This first volume follows him from his precocious childhood in an evangelical family at Clapham through Cambridge, the bar and the Edinburgh Review essays that made his name, his entry into Parliament and his speeches in the struggle for the Reform Bill, and his years in India as a member of the governing council, where he worked on the penal code. Trevelyan writes with warmth and family intimacy, and Macaulay's own voice runs through every chapter. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
