Art History: His History of Ionian Philosophy(1821) ; History of the Pythagorean Philosophy (1826), and Notes on the Philosophy of the Megarean School in the Rheinisches Museum, are models of historical investigation on the principles of Schleiermacher. His historical masterpiece is the History of Philosophy (1829-53), which deals with general history up to the time of Kant. It was supplemented by a Review of the History of German Philosophy from the Time of Kant (1853).In 1874, after having been twice rewritten, his Short History of the English People appeared. This work unified English history as no other had yet done. "What Macaulay had done for a period of English history," said his fellow historian Mandell Creighton, "Green did for it as a whole." Green's purpose was to show the development of English life by a fusion of constitutional, economic, literary, art historyistic, and social history—subjects that historians had formerly treated independently. He expanded this very successful work into History of the English People (1877-1880).
