Omschrijving

The Life of William Hickling Prescott is a biography written by George Ticknor that details the life of the American historian William Hickling Prescott. Prescott was born in Salem, Massachusetts in 1796 and went on to become one of the most prominent historians of his time, known for his works on the history of Spain and the conquest of Mexico and Peru. The book covers Prescott's life from his early years as a student at Harvard University to his rise to fame as a historian. It delves into his struggles with blindness, which he developed in his mid-thirties, and how he continued to write and research despite this disability. Ticknor's biography also explores Prescott's personal life, including his relationships with family and friends, as well as his travels throughout Europe and South America. The book provides a detailed look at the life of one of America's most celebrated historians and offers insights into the world of scholarship and intellectual pursuits during the 19th century. Overall, The Life of William Hickling Prescott is a comprehensive and engaging biography that sheds light on the life and legacy of a remarkable figure in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
