Person
James Anthony Froude (1818-1894) is thought to be the model for Mr Hale in Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South: a fellow of an Oxford college and an Anglican deacon, Froude was forced to resign these positions when he came under the influence of Thomas Carlyle and was no longer able to subscribe to the Church of England's beliefs. He began writing to support himself and produced numerous historical works, gaining such a reputation that he was appointed Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford in 1892. He was also editor of Fraser's Magazine for fourteen years.
