| Summary | "John Lothrop Motley. a memoir — Volume 3" by Oliver Wendell Holmes is a biography completed in the late 19th century. This memoir focuses on the life and contributions of John Lothrop Motley, an American historian and diplomat, particularly detailing his work on Dutch history and his role as a cultural figure. The likely topics of the book include Motley's historical works and his legacy in American literature and diplomacy. In this final volume, Holmes portrays not only Motley's literary accomplishments but also his personal struggles, including his relationships and the grief he faced after the death of his wife. The narrative delves into Motley's diplomatic career, particularly his experiences as the American Minister to England and the controversies surrounding his recall. Additionally, it highlights his significant historical writing on the Dutch Republic during the Eighty Years' War and the personal insights that shaped his character. Through Holmes's analysis, the memoir paints a picture of a dedicated historian whose passion for freedom and religious liberty was reflected in his works and personal ideology. Ultimately, the book serves both as a tribute to Motley's contributions and a reflection on his complex life. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
