| Writer and historian, born in Dartington, Devon, SW England, UK. He studied at Oxford, where he became part of the Oxford Movement. His early novels were controversial, notably The Nemesis of Faith (1848), and he was forced to resign his post. He then worked as an essayist and editor, and wrote his History of England (12 vols, 1856–69). He became Rector of St Andrews in 1869, and professor of modern history at Oxford in 1892. |
