He was a precocious child. A literary prodigy, he began to write poetry and a world history before he was 10 years old. Educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, he became known as a debater, brilliant conversationalist, and classical scholar. The first two volumes of his History of England was originally published in 1848, with volumes 3 and 4 in 1855. It was a masterwork which achieved unprecedented levels of sales. The first two volumes selling 13,000 sets in four months, and volumes three and four selling twice this many in just two months.
Geoff Dickens (1910-2001) was one of the dominant historians of Tudor England, from the 1960s until the 1980s.
