Sentimental Masculinity and the Rise of History, 1790-1890

Sentimental Masculinity and the Rise of History, 1790–1890 Tracing the debate over what counted as history in nineteenth-century Britain, Mike Goode uncovers a Romantic literary and political tradition which held that historians must be manly and sentimental to understand history properly. Victorian academics successfully countered this tradition by asserting the superior importance of an unfeeling science of history.
