Items related to Lays of Ancient Rome
Baron Macaulay was a leading figure in Victorian literature. His essays were quite popular. Macaulay first visited Italy in 1938 after which he reconstructed the lost ballad-poetry of Rome in English form. Lays of Ancient Rome begins with a lengthily preface in which Macaulay discusses the earliest histories of Rome. There follows a section on Horatius. The second topic covered is the Battle of Lake Regillus. The final two sections cover Virginia and the Prophecy of Capys. This is an excellent reference work for the study of ancient Rome.

About the Author:
Thomas Babington Macaulay, the great historian of England, was born at Rothley, near Leicester, in 1800, and was named Thomas Babington after his uncle. Macaulay was a member of Parliament first for Colne, then for Leeds. In 1842 he gave to the world his spirited "Lays of Ancient Rome." Lord Macaulay excelled as a poet and essayist, but he is chiefly illustrious as a historian. During later years his health made work increasingly difficult for him. He died in December 1859 at the age of 59.
