Froude, James Anthony

born April 23, 1818, Dartington, Devon, Eng.
died Oct. 20, 1894, Kingsbridge, Devon

English historian and biographer.

He was influenced by the Oxford Movement, which sought a renewal of Roman Catholic practices within the Church of England, but later broke with it. Among his historical works, which display both carelessness and his anti-Catholic bias, the best known is History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada (1856–70), which fundamentally altered the direction of Tudor studies. Immensely prolific, he was attacked by reviewers but was popular with the reading public. He later produced a biography (1882–84) of his friend Thomas Carlyle.

▪ British historian
born April 23, 1818, Dartington, Devon, Eng.
died Oct. 20, 1894, Kingsbridge, Devon

      English historian and biographer whose History of England from the Fall of Wolsey to the Defeat of the Spanish Armada, 12 vol. (1856–70), fundamentally altered the whole direction of Tudor studies. He was immensely prolific, producing also novels and essays.

      Froude was, both at home and at the University of Oxford, which he entered in 1835, dominated by his elder brother Richard Hurrell Froude, famous himself as one of the founders of the Oxford Movement. Froude was influenced also by John Henry Newman, the future cardinal, who was one of his fellow students at Oriel College. After graduating in 1842, he broke with the movement and, with the appearance of The Nemesis of Faith in 1849, the third of his novels, which was in effect an attack on the established church, he was obliged to resign his fellowship at Exeter College. He thereafter made his living by his pen until in 1892 he returned to Oxford as regius professor of modern history.

      In Froude's historical works there are numerous instances of his careless handling of his texts, yet there is no evidence of deliberate distortion. His errors derive partly from the tremendous speed at which he worked. But they resulted also from a more fundamental cause. To Froude the 16th century was the crucial period in English history, when the forces of liberty, as expressed by the Reformation, were struggling against the forces of darkness, as represented by the Roman Catholic church. This theme gives to all his work a vigorous partisan quality. He believed indeed that the Anglo-Catholic revival of the 19th century was merely a later version of the same danger. It was his declared duty to open the eyes of his own generation to the perils that had been faced and overcome by the Tudors.

      The other great influence upon his attitude to history was Thomas Carlyle (Carlyle, Thomas), from whom Froude absorbed the doctrines of the role of the hero in history. Henry VIII was Froude's hero; and his portrait of him was wholly at variance with those drawn by Lord Macaulay, M.A.S. Hume, and John Lingard. Henry, according to Froude, was the man of courage and energy who guided the nation through its gravest crisis. Elizabeth I, by contrast, was a weak, uncertain ruler who needed Lord Burghley—the hero of the later volumes of his History—to save her from the consequences of her own follies.

      Savage attacks by reviewers had no effect on Froude's methods as a historian or on his popularity with the reading public. There followed, among other works, The English in Ireland in the Eighteenth Century, 3 vol. (1872–74), The Life and Letters of Erasmus, 2 vol. (1894), and English Seamen in the Sixteenth Century (1895). But the great work of the later part of his life was his biography of Carlyle, which appeared in four volumes (1882–84), as well as an edition of Carlyle's papers, 2 vol. (1881). Here, too, he was severely handled by his enemies, again for his inaccuracy but also for his frank analysis of Carlyle's defects of character which, Froude claimed, as an honest biographer he must fully examine.
