He is considered primarily responsible for the introduction of a Western-style education system in India. Macaulay wrote extensively as an essayist, on contemporary and historical sociopolitical subjects, and as a reviewer. His History of England was a seminal and paradigmatic example of Whig history, and its literary style has remained an object of praise since its publication, including subsequent to the widespread condemnation of its historical contentions which became popular in the 20th century.
