Luther

Luther is a short biographical study of Martin Luther by James Anthony Froude (1818-1894), the English historian, novelist, and editor who was one of the leading historical writers of Victorian England. Froude served as Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford and produced the twelve-volume History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada, the controversial Reminiscences of Thomas Carlyle, and the influential travel book The English in the West Indies. This Luther is a compact survey of the German reformer’s life and work for the general Victorian reader, marked by Froude’s vigorous narrative style and by his Protestant sympathies. The book belongs to the wider late nineteenth-century English interest in the Continental Reformation. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
