Pattison, Mark (1813-1884)

Title

Pattison, Mark (1813-1884)

Description

Rector of Lincoln College in Oxford, Mark Pattison was a prominent intellectual figure. He and his wife, Emilia Frances Strong, were friends with both George Eliot and George Henry Lewes. Some biographical critics have seen parallels in Pattison's May-December marriage and the Casaubons' unhappy marriage in Eliot's novel, Middlemarch: Pattison wrote a book about a man named Isaac Casaubon and was 27 years older than his wife (the same age difference in Middlemarch).
