Biographies - Multiple in One

“Biographies” by Thomas B. Macaulay is a brilliant collection of historical portraits penned by one of Victorian Britain’s most eloquent essayists. Originally written for the Edinburgh Review, these essays blend sharp intellect with literary flair as Macaulay explores the lives of influential figures like Francis Atterbury, John Buyan, William Pitt the Elder, Samuel Johnson, and Oliver Goldsmith. Far more than dry biographies, Macaulay’s vivid storytelling brings political giants, philosophers, and statesmen to life—revealing not just their accomplishments, but the temper of their times. A must-read for lovers of history, literature, and spirited argument.
"Biographies" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1894.
