George Macaulay Trevelyan (February 16, 1876 – July 21, 1962), was an English historian, son of Sir George Otto Trevelyan and great-nephew of Thomas Macaulay, whose staunch liberal Whig principles he espoused in accessible works of literate narrative avoiding a consciously dispassionate analysis, that became old-fashioned during his long and productive career.
Trevelyan lectured at Cambridge until 1903 at which point he left academic life.
Trevelyan declined the Presidency of the British Academy but served as Chancellor of Durham University from 1950 to 1958.
Trevelyan's second proposition involves the effort to activate the eye‑beam sequentially, in a way similar to the method that Goethe used to study changes in plant growth so as to demonstrate that all vegetative forms are in the process of becoming, either transforming themselves or fading away.
Trevelyan argues that the column is wall transformed, thus a flat wall is both the source out of which all possible columns are born and an original set of columns now dissolved back into a plain surface.
Trevelyan believes that the dome is the most powerful instance of roundness, the "supreme constructional and aesthetic achievement in architecture" (p.44), especially in the Renaissance's ideal of the centralized church based on the plan of a Greek cross with altar directly beneath the dome's center.
