1880. Volume II of II. English historian, Hallam's first great work was The View of the State of Europe during the Middle Ages. He followed this nine years later with the Constitutional History of England. The Introduction to the Literature of Europe in the 15th, 16th and 17th Centuries is his last work. The work covers not only creative literature but the literature of the classics, mathematics, theology, science, and, most notably, of philosophy and thought. More valuable than commonly credited, this is perhaps the last critical work to discuss Neo-Latin literature in detail in the context of a general study of European literature.
