" Thomas Babington Macaulay, Baron Macaulay (born October 25, 1800, Rothley Temple, Leicestershire, England—died December 28, 1859, Campden Hill, London) was an English Whig politician, essayist, poet, and historian best known for his History of England, 5 vol. (1849-61); this work, which covers the period 1688-1702, secured his place as one of the founders of what has been called the Whig interpretation of history. He was raised to the peerage in 1857. As a young man he composed the ballads Ivry and The Armada, which he later included as part of Lays of Ancient Rome , a series of very popular poems about heroic episodes in Roman history which he began composing in India and continued in Rome, finally publishing in 1842.
