Clio, a Muse (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

 “What is easy to read has been difficult to write,” Trevelyan declares in this 1913 volume. Clio: A Muse, and Other Essays, is a collection of Trevelyan’s clearly presented views on historical writing, as well as articles on George Meredith, the art of poetry, and John Woolman. The book concludes with the intriguing “If Napoleon had Won the Battle of Waterloo.”
