  • George Macaulay Trevelyan, OM, CBE, FRS, FBA (16 February 1876 – 21 July 1962), was an English historian. Trevelyan was the third son of Sir George Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet, and great-nephew of Thomas Babington Macaulay, whose staunch liberal Whig principles he espoused in accessible works of literate narrative avoiding a consciously dispassionate analysis, that became old-fashioned during his long and productive career. Contemporary E. H. Carr considered Trevelyan to be one of the last historians of the Whig tradition. Many of his writings promoted the Whig Party, an important aspect of British politics from the 1600s to the mid-1800s, and of its successor, the Liberal Party. Whigs and Liberals believed the common people had a more positive effect on history than did royalty and that democratic government would bring about steady social progress. Trevelyan's history is engaged and partisan. Of his Garibaldi trilogy, "reeking with bias", he remarked in his essay "Bias in History", "Without bias, I should never have written them at all. For I was moved to write them by a poetical sympathy with the passions of the Italian patriots of the period, which I retrospectively shared."

  • Джордж Тревельян — английский историк, родственник и продолжатель традиций Маколея. Он поддерживал либеральные принципы в своих доступных и грамотных работах, сознательно избегая беспристрастный анализ, ставший старомодным в течение его долгой и продуктивной карьеры. Многие из его работ продвинули партию вигов, важный аспект британской политики с 1600-х до середины 1800-х годов, и её преемника, Либеральной партии. Либералы полагали, что простые люди имели большее положительное влияние на историю, чем монархия, и что демократическое правительство могло вызвать устойчивое социальное продвижение.
