SIR See also:JOHN See also:HARE (1844– )  , See also:English actor and manager, was See also:born in See also:Yorkshire on the 16th of May 1844, and was educated at Giggleswick school, Yorkshire . He made his first See also:appearance on the See also:stage at See also:Liverpool in 1864, coming to See also:London in 1865, and acting for ten years with the Bancrofts . He soon made his See also:mark, particularly in T . W . See also:Robertson's comedies, and in 1875 became manager of the See also:Court See also:theatre . But it was in association with Mr and Mrs See also:Kendal at the St See also:James's theatre from 1879 to 1888 that he established his popularity in London, in important " See also:character " and " men of the See also:world " parts, the See also:joint management of See also:Hare and Kendal making this theatre one of the See also:chief centres of the dramatic world for a See also:decade . In 1889 he became lessee and manager of the See also:Garrick theatre, where (though he was often out of the See also:cast) he produced several important plays, such as See also:Pinero's The Profligate and The Notorious Mrs Ebbsmith, and had a remarkable See also:personal success in the chief See also:part ' in See also:Sydney See also:Grundy's A Pair of See also:Spectacles . In 1897 he took the Globe theatre, where his acting in Pinero's See also:Gay See also:Lord Quex was another personal See also:triumph . He became almost as well known in the See also:United States as in See also:England, his last tour in See also:America being in 'goo and 1901 . He was knighted in 1907 . ' HARE, See also:JULIUS See also:CHARLES (1795–1855), English theological writer, was born at Valdagno, near See also:Vicenza, in See also:Italy, on the 13th of See also:September 1795 . He came to England with his parents in 1799, but in 1804–1805 spent a See also:winter with them at See also:Weimar, where he met See also:Goethe and See also:Schiller, and received a See also:bias to See also:German literature which influenced his See also:style and sentiments throughout his whole career .

On the See also:

death of his See also:mother in 1806, Julius was sent See also:home to the See also:Charterhouse in London, where he remained till 1812, when he entered Trinity See also:College, See also:Cambridge . There he became See also:fellow in 1818, and after some See also:time spent abroad he began to read See also:law in London in the following See also:year . From 1822 to 1832 he was assistant-See also:tutor at Trinity College . Turning his See also:attention from law to divinity, Hare took See also:priest's orders in 1826; and, on the death of his See also:uncle in 1832, he succeeded to the See also:rich See also:family living of See also:Hurstmonceaux in See also:Sussex, where he accumulated a library of some 12,000 volumes, especially rich in German literature . Before taking up See also:residence in his See also:parish he once more went abroad, and made in See also:Rome the acquaintance of the See also:Chevalier See also:Bunsen, who afterwards dedicated to him part of his See also:work, See also:Hippolytus and his See also:Age . In 184o Hare was appointed See also:archdeacon of See also:Lewes, and in the same year preached a course of sermons at Cambridge (The Victory of Faith), followed in 1846 by a second, The See also:Mission of the Comforter . Neither See also:series when published attained any See also:great popularity . Archdeacon Hare married in 1844 See also:Esther, a See also:sister of his friend See also:Frederick See also:Maurice . In 1851 he was collated to a prebend in See also:Chichester; and in 1853 he became one of See also:Queen See also:Victoria's chaplains . He died on the 23rd of See also:January 1855• Julius Hare belonged to what has been called the " Broad See also:Church party," though some of his opinions approach very closely to those of the Evangelical Arminian school, while others again seem vague and undecided . He was one of the first of his countrymen to recognize and come under the See also:influence of German thought and See also:speculation, and, amidst an exaggerated alarm of German See also:heresy, did much to vindicate the authority of the sounder German critics . His writings, which are chiefly theological and controversial, are largely formed of charges to his See also:clergy, and sermons on different topics; but, though valuable and full of thought, they lose some of their force by the cumbrous German structure of the sentences, and by certain orthographical peculiarities in which the author indulged .

In 1827 Guesses at Truth by Two ;See also:

Brothers.' appearedi Hare assisted TIliriwall, afterwards See also:bishop of St See also:David's, in the See also:translation of the 1st and 2nd volumes of See also:Niebuhr's See also:History of Rome (1828 and 1832), and published a Vindication of Niebuhr's History in 1829 . He wrote many similar See also:works, among which is a Vindication of See also:Luther against his See also:recent English Assailants (1854) . In 1848 he edited the Remains of See also:John See also:Sterling, who had formerly been his See also:curate . See also:Carlyle's See also:Life of See also:Job, . Sterling was written through dissatisfaction with the " Life " prefixed to Archdeacon Hare's See also:book . Memorials of a Quiet Life, published in 1872, contain accounts of the Hare family .
