Autor: Freeman, Edward Augustus
Rok: 1823-1892 Edward Augustus Freeman (2 August 1823 – 16 March 1892) was an English historian, architectural artist, liberal politician during the late-19th-century heyday of William Gladstone, and a one-time candidate for Parliament. He held the position of Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford, where he tutored Arthur Evans; later he and Evans would be activists in the Balkan uprising of Bosnia and Herzegovina (1874–1878) against the Ottoman Empire. After the marriage of his daughter Margaret to Evans, he and Evans collaborated on the fourth volume of his History of Sicily. He was a prolific writer, publishing 239 distinct works. One of his best known is his magnum opus, the 6-volume The History of the Norman Conquest in England (published 1867–1879). Both he and Margaret died before Evans purchased the land from which he would excavate the Palace of Knossos. |
