N2  - On the 150th anniversary of the death of the English historian and politician Thomas Babington Macaulay, Robert Sullivan offers a portrait of a Victorian life that probes the cost of power, the practice of empire, and the impact of ideas.

Sullivan offers an unsurpassed study of an afflicted genius and a thoughtful meditation on the modern ethics of power
