The Debate Between Art and Science:A Inquiry into James Anthony Froude's Historical Thought
James Anthony Froude was one of the renowned historians of the Victorian era in Britain,emphasizing the artistic style of historical writing while also valuing the search and use of archival materials.As a great"amateur,"Froude had shortcomings in handling materials,often neglecting careful textual criticism and relying on imagination to describe and interpret historical figures and phenomena.This led to factual errors and exaggerations in his historical works,which attracted criticism from"scientific"historians.Froude was a representative figure during the transformational period of the 19th-century British historical discipline.His compelling historical narratives cultivated the public's passion for history,and his collection and use of original materials,along with other"scientific"historians,opened up significant new territories for British historical research.
