Froude, James Anthony (1818-1894)

George Eliot and James Anthony Froude met professionally through the Westminster Review, where Froude's radical article on the Tudors was published. Eliot was deeply impressed by Froude's 1849 work, The Nemesis of Faith. Eliot, under her birth name, sent Froude a letter regarding the work and reviewed it favorably for the Coventry Herald. They would remain acquainted for many years. Froude wrote to Eliot via Blackwood in 1859, following the publication of Adam Bede, apparently unaware he was already acquainted with the author.
