Eyre Evans Crowe

Eyre Evans Crowe (1799 - February 25, 1868), English journalist and historian, was born in 1799.

He commenced his work as a writer for the London newspaper press in connection with the "Morning Chronicle", and he afterwards became a leading contributor to the "Examiner" and the "Daily News". Of the latter journal he was principal editor for some time previous to his death.

The department he specially cultivated was that of continental history and foreign politics. He published "Lives of Foreign Statesmen" (1830), "The Greek and the Turk" (1853), and "Reigns of Louis XVIII. and Charles X." (1854).

These were followed by his most important work, the "History of France" (5 vols., 1858-1868). It was founded upon original sources, in order to consult which the author resided for a considerable time in Paris.

Among his children were Eyre Crowe A.R.A. (1824-1910), Sir Joseph Archer Crowe (1825-1896), and George Crowe (1840-1889] , husband of the actress Kate Bateman.
