法兰西斯.培根是一位历史学家。培根留有一部、也是唯一完整的史学著作即《国王亨利七世统治史》,历来中西对这部著作评价不一。可以说,《国王亨利七世统治史》并不是一部很成功的史学著作,但却因特点鲜明、文笔生动流畅在当时产生过重要影响。从史学和思想的角度分析和评价这些特点,对这部书的贡献与缺陷给予总结,是有一定意义的。 Francis Bacon is a historian. Bacon has one and only complete history book that is “the history of the reign of King Henry VII”. Historically, both China and the West have not commented on this work. It can be said that “the history of the reign of King Henry VII” is not a very successful historical book, but because of its distinctive features, writing vivid and smooth had a significant impact at the time. It is of some significance to analyze and evaluate these characteristics from the perspective of history and ideology and to sum up the contributions and defects of this book.
