About The Book: "Macaulay Essay on Clive" by Vincent A. Smith is a scholarly edition and commentary on Thomas Babington Macaulay’s essay about Robert Clive, the British general who laid the foundation of British rule in India. Smith critically examines Macaulay’s portrayal, adding historical context, clarifications, and corrections based on newer evidence. The work highlights Clive’s military exploits, political acumen, and moral complexities, while also exposing Macaulay’s imperial bias.
