Description
Sullivan offers a portrait of a Victorian life that probes the cost of power, the practice of empire, and the impact of ideas. Devoting his talents to gaining power-above all for England and its empire-made Macaulay's life a tragedy. Sullivan offers an unrivaled study of an afflicted genius and a thoughtful meditation on the modern ethics of power.
