About this book
A biography of Victorian historian Alexander William Kinglake, examining his life alongside his literary works, most notably his travel narrative *Eothen* and his eight-volume history of the Crimean War. Suitable for readers interested in Victorian prose, historiography, or nineteenth-century travel writing. *(Note: I'm answering from general knowledge rather than confirming this specific 1996 Tuckwell edition. If the library needs verification, the record should be checked against a catalogue source.)*
