George Macaulay Trevelyan, OM, CBE, FRS,[1] FBA (16 February 1876[2] 21 July 1962),[3] was

a British historian. Trevelyan was the third son of Sir George Otto Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet, and
great-nephew of Thomas Babington Macaulay, whose staunch liberalWhig principles he
espoused in accessible works of literate narrative avoiding a consciously dispassionate analysis,
that became old-fashioned during his long and productive career.[4] The noted historian E. H.
Carr considered Trevelyan to be one of the last historians of the Whig tradition.[5]
