Devoting his huge talents to gaining power - above all for England and its empire - made Macaulay's life a tragedy. Sullivan offers an unsurpassed study of an afflicted genius and a thoughtful meditation on the modern ethics of power.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.4159/9780674054691}, recid = {1478875}, pages = {1 online resource}, }
