ABSTRACT
James Anthony Froude (1818–1894), was an English historian and biographer. Froude went up to Oxford and was influenced by a fellow student and future cardinal, John Henry Newman. After graduating in 1842, he broke with the Oxford movement and, with the appearance of the third of his novels, The Nemesis of Faith in 1849, he was obliged to resign his fellowship at Exeter College. In effect the novel was an attack on the established church.
