'''George Macaulay Trevelyan''' {{post-nominals|country=GBR|OM|CBE|FRS|FBA}} (16 February 1876 – 21 July 1962) was a British [[historian]] and academic. He was a Fellow of [[Trinity College, Cambridge]], from 1898 to 1903. He then spent more than twenty years as a full-time author. He returned to the [[University of Cambridge]] and was [[Regius Professor of History (Cambridge)|Regius Professor of History]] from 1927 to 1943. He served as [[Master (college)|Master]] of Trinity College from 1940 to 1951. In retirement, he was [[Chancellor (education)|Chancellor]] of [[Durham University]].

Trevelyan was the third son of [[Sir George Otto Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet]], and great-nephew of [[Thomas Babington Macaulay, 1st Baron Macaulay|Thomas Babington Macaulay]]. He espoused Macaulay's staunch liberal [[British Whig Party|Whig]] principles in accessible works of literate narrative unfettered by scholarly neutrality, his style becoming old-fashioned in the course of his long and productive career. The historian [[E. H. Carr]] considered Trevelyan to be one of the last historians of the [[Whig history|Whig tradition]].<ref>{{cite book|title=What Is History?|last=Carr |first=E. H. |chapter=The Historian and His Facts|page=17|year=2001|isbn=0333977017}}</ref>

Many of his writings promoted the [[Whig (British political faction)|Whig Party]], an important British political movement from the 17th to the mid-19th centuries, as well as its successor, the Liberal Party. Whigs and Liberals believed the common people had a more positive effect on history than did royalty and that democratic government would bring about steady social progress.<ref name="hernon" />

Trevelyan's history is engaged and partisan. Of his [[Garibaldi]] trilogy, "reeking with bias", he remarked in his essay "Bias in History", "Without bias, I should never have written them at all. For I was moved to write them by a poetical sympathy with the passions of the Italian patriots of the period, which I retrospectively shared."<ref name="hernon" />

==Early life==
[[File:GMtrevelyan.jpg|thumb|300px|Trevelyan in 1910 with his eldest son, Theo, and father, Sir G. O. Trevelyan. Theo died of appendicitis in 1911.<ref>[http://morpeth.journallive.co.uk/2009/04/journey-into-wallington-histor.html Journey into Wallington historian's own history]. Journal Live. 17 April 2009</ref>]]
Trevelyan was born into late Victorian Britain in [[Welcombe Hotel|Welcombe House]], [[Stratford-on-Avon]], the [[English country house|large house and estate]] owned by his maternal grandfather, [[Robert Needham Philips]],<ref name="britannica-1911">{{cite EB1911|wstitle= Trevelyan, Sir George Otto |volume= 27 | page = 255; see final three lines |quote= The third son, George Macaulay Trevelyan (b. 1876), became well known as a brilliant historical writer, notably with two books on Garibaldi (1907 and 1909)}}</ref> a wealthy [[Lancashire]] merchant and the Liberal [[Member of Parliament]] (MP) for [[Bury (UK Parliament constituency)|Bury]]. Today Welcombe is a hotel and spa for tourists visiting [[Shakespeare]]'s birthplace.<ref name="hernon" /> On his paternal side, he was the son of [[Sir George Trevelyan, 2nd Baronet]], who had served as Secretary for Scotland, under Liberal Prime Ministers [[William Ewart Gladstone|William Gladstone]], and the [[Archibald Primrose, 5th Earl of Rosebery|Earl of Rosebery]], and the grandson of [[Sir Charles Trevelyan, 1st Baronet]], who had served as a civil servant and had faced considerable criticism for his and the British government's handling of the [[Great Famine (Ireland)|Great Famine of Ireland]].

Trevelyan's parents used Welcombe as a winter resort after they inherited it in 1890. They looked upon [[Wallington Hall]], the Trevelyan [[family seat|family estate]] in [[Northumberland]], as their real home. George traced his father's steps to [[Harrow School]] and then [[Trinity College, Cambridge]].<ref>{{acad|id=TRVN893GM|name=Trevelyan, George Macaulay}}</ref> After attending [[Wixenford School|Wixenford]] and [[Harrow School|Harrow]], where he specialised in history, Trevelyan studied at [[Trinity College, Cambridge]], where he was a member of the secret society, the [[Cambridge Apostles]] and founder of the still existing Lake Hunt, a [[Paper Chase (game)|hare and hounds]] chase where both hounds and hares are human.<ref name="hernon" /> In 1898, he won a fellowship at Trinity with a dissertation that was published the following year as ''England in the Age of Wycliffe''.<ref name="hernon">{{Cite journal|doi = 10.2307/1863741|last1 = Hernon|first1 = Jr.|last2 = Joseph|first2 = M.|year = 1976|title = The Last Whig Historian and Consensus History: George Macaulay Trevelyan, 1876–1962|jstor = 1863741| journal = The American Historical Review|volume = 81|issue = 1| pages = 66–97}}</ref> One professor at the university, [[Lord Acton]], enchanted the young Trevelyan with his great wisdom and his belief in moral judgement and individual liberty.<ref name="hernon" />

==Garibaldi==
Trevelyan made his own reputation by depicting Italian patriot [[Giuseppe Garibaldi]] as a great hero who stood for British ideals of liberty. According to [[David Cannadine]]:
<blockquote>[Trevelyan's] great work was his Garibaldi trilogy (1907–11), which established his reputation as the outstanding literary historian of his generation. It depicted Garibaldi as a [[Carlylean]] hero—poet, patriot, and man of action—whose inspired leadership created the Italian nation. For Trevelyan, Garibaldi was the champion of freedom, progress, and tolerance, who vanquished the despotism, reaction, and obscurantism of the Austrian empire and the Neapolitan monarchy. The books were also notable for their vivid evocation of landscape (Trevelyan had himself followed the course of Garibaldi's marches), for their innovative use of documentary and oral sources, and for their spirited accounts of battles and military campaigns.<ref name=Cannadine2004/></blockquote>

Historian Lucy Voakes argues that his Garibaldi project was part of a larger movement among English intellectuals to consolidate, celebrate and sometimes to critique liberal culture and politics. She sees Trevelyan's conception of the hero, and his study of the Italian Risorgimento emerging from his promotion of a distinctly 'English' patriotism based upon Whig gradualism, parliamentary monarchy and a hierarchical anti-republicanism.<ref>Lucy

==Role in education==
Trevelyan lectured at Cambridge until 1903 at which point he left academic life to become a full-time writer. In 1927 he returned to the university to take up a position as [[Regius Professor of Modern History (Cambridge)|Regius Professor of Modern History]], where the single student whose doctorate he agreed to supervise was [[J. H. Plumb]] (1936). During his professorship he was also familiar with [[Guy Burgess]] – he gave a positive reference for Burgess when he applied for a post at the [[BBC]] in 1935, describing him as a "first rate man", but also stating that "He has passed through the communist measles that so many of our clever young men go through, and is well out of it".<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/archive/burgess/7701.shtml |title=Archive – Guy Burgess at the BBC – Memo quoting a recommendation for Burgess |author= |website=[[bbc.co.uk]]|access-date=27 July 2015}}</ref> In 1940 he was appointed as Master of Trinity College and served in the post until 1951 when he retired.

Trevelyan declined the presidency of the [[British Academy]] but served as chancellor of [[Durham University]] from 1950 to 1958. [[Trevelyan College, Durham|Trevelyan College]] at Durham University is named after him. He won the 1920 [[James Tait Black Memorial Prize]] for the biography ''Lord Grey of the Reform Bill'', was elected a fellow of the [[British Academy]] in 1925, made a fellow of the [[Royal Society]] in 1950,<ref name="frs">{{Cite journal | last1 = Adrian | first1 = L. | doi = 10.1098/rsbm.1963.0017 | title = George Macaulay Trevelyan 1876-1962 | journal = [[Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society]] | volume = 9 | pages = 315–321 | year = 1963 | doi-access = free }}</ref> and was an honorary doctor of many universities including Cambridge.

==Place in British ideas==

Shocked by the horrors of the Great War he saw as an ambulance driver just behind the front lines, Trevelyan became more appreciative of conservatism as a positive force, and less insistent that progress was inevitable. In ''History of England'' (1926), he searched for the deepest meaning of English history. Cannadine says he reported they were "the nation's evolution and identity: parliamentary government, the rule of law, religious toleration, freedom from continental interference or involvement, and a global horizon of maritime supremacy and imperial expansion".<ref name=Cannadine2004/>

Cannadine concluded in ''G.M. Trevelyan: A Life in History'' (1992):
<blockquote>During the first half of the twentieth century Trevelyan was the most famous, the most honored, the most influential and the most widely read historian of his generation. He was a scion of the greatest historical dynasty that (Britain) has ever produced. He knew and corresponded with many of the greatest figures of his time... For fifty years, Trevelyan acted as a public moralist, public teacher and public benefactor, wielding unchallenged cultural authority among the governing and the educated classes of his day.</blockquote>

Once called "probably the most widely read historian in the world; perhaps in the history of the world."<ref>{{cite book|author=Tombs, Robert |title=The English and Their History|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kJzGBgAAQBAJ&pg=PT409|year=2015|page=271|isbn=9781101874776}}</ref> Trevelyan saw how two world wars shook the belief in progress. Historiography had changed and the belief in progress declined. [[Roy Jenkins]] argued:
{{quote|Trevelyan's reputation as an historian barely survived his death in 1962. He is now amongst the great unread, widely regarded by the professionals of a later generation as a pontificating old windbag, as short on cutting edge as on reliable facts.<ref>{{cite book|author=Jenkins, Roy |author-link = Roy Jenkins|title=Portraits and Miniatures|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=VsICNA8gGdIC&pg=PT254|year=2011|page=254|isbn = 9781448202881}}</ref>}}

On the other hand, [[J. H. Plumb]] argued:
{{quote|What is perhaps most frequently forgotten, or ignored, is the skill of his literary craftsmanship. Trevelyan was a born writer and a natural storyteller; and this, among historians, is a rare gift ... If one quality is to be singled out, is should be this, for all historians he is the poet of English history ... His work has one other great and enduring merit: the tradition within which it was written. The Victorian liberals and their Edwardian successors have made one of the greatest contributions to science and to culture ever made by a ruling class. To these by birth and by instinct Trevelyan belonged.<ref>Plumb, J. H. (1983) "G.M. Trevelyan". In: ''British Writers. Vol VI''. Scribner's.</ref>}}

==Other activities==
During World War I he commanded a [[British Red Cross]] ambulance unit on the Italian front;<ref>{{cite book|author=Powell, Anne |title=Women in the War Zone: Hospital Service in the First World War|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eg0MAQAAMAAJ|year=2009|publisher=History Press|isbn=978-0-7509-5059-6}}</ref> his defective eyesight meant he was unfit for military service. On December 24, 1915, he was personally decorated by king [[Victor Emmanuel III of Italy]] with the [[Silver Medal of Military Valor]] for having bravely cleared out a military hospital made target of Austro-Hungarian fire.<ref>Francesco degli Azzoni Avogadro, L'Amico del Re - Il diario di guerra inedito dell'Aiutante di campo di Vittorio Emanuele III, Leggiamo la Grande Guerra, I, Gaspari editor, 2009, ISBN 88-7541-177-8</ref>

In 1919 he delivered the British Academy's Italian Lecture.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Trevelyan, G.

Trevelyan was the first president of the [[Youth Hostels Association (England & Wales)|Youth Hostels Association]] and the YHA headquarters are called Trevelyan House in his honour. He worked tirelessly through his career on behalf of the [[National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty|National Trust]], in preserving not merely historic houses, but historic landscapes. He was an International Honorary Member of the [[American Academy of Arts and Sciences]] (1931)<ref>{{Cite web |title=George Macaulay Trevelyan |url=https://www.amacad.org/person/george-macaulay-trevelyan |access-date=2023-02-27 |website=American Academy of Arts & Sciences |language=en}}</ref> and an International Member of the [[American Philosophical Society]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=APS Member History |url=https://search.amphilsoc.org/memhist/search?creator=George+M.+Trevelyan&title=&subject=&subdiv=&mem=&year=&year-max=&dead=&keyword=&smode=advanced |access-date=2023-02-27 |website=search.amphilsoc.org}}</ref>

==Trevelyan's works==
G.M. Trevelyan was a prolific author:
*''England in the Age of Wycliffe, 1368–1520'' (1899).<ref>{{cite book|author=Trevelyan, George Macaulay |title=England in the Age of Wycliffe|url=https://archive.org/details/englandinagewyc01trevgoog|year=1900|publisher=Longmans, Green, and Company}}</ref> His first book, based on his PhD thesis. The title of this work is somewhat misleading, since it concentrates on the political, social and religious conditions of England during the later years of [[John Wycliffe|Wycliffe]]'s life only. Six of the nine chapters are devoted to the years 1377–1385, while the last two treat the history of the [[Lollards]] from 1382 until the Reformation. The work is critical of Roman Catholicism in favor of Wycliffe.<ref>{{cite journal|doi=10.1086/ahr/5.1.120|author=Kriehn, George|title=England in the Age of Wycliffe|journal=The American Historical Review|volume=5|issue=1|year=1899|pages=120–122}}</ref>
