Pattison, Mark (1813–84), supporter of
Newman and the
Oxford Movement until Newman's departure for Rome. He was ordained priest in 1843 and became successively fellow, tutor, and rector of Lincoln College, Oxford. He was keenly interested in university reform, and travelled to Germany to study continental systems of education. His ideas on education can be found in
Oxford Studies (1855) and
Suggestions on Academical Organisation (1868). His best-known work was his classic biography
Isaac Casaubon 1559–1614 (1875). In 1861 he married Emilia Frances Strong (later Lady
Dilke) who was 27 years his junior; this, and the fact that both parties remained apart as far as convention would allow, gave rise to the famous theory that Mr and Mrs Pattison were the originals of Casaubon and Dorothea in G. Eliot's
Middlemarch. His
Memoirs (1885) are an important study of 19th-cent. Oxford.
