Augustus Hare

Augustus Hare

Augustus John Cuthbert Hare (March 13, 1834 – January 22, 1903) was an English writer and raconteur.

He was the youngest son of Francis Hare, and nephew of Augustus William Hare and Julius Hare. He was born in Rome; later he was practically adopted by his aunt, the widow of Augustus Hare, and educated at Harrow School and University College, Oxford.

He was the author of a large number of books, which fall into two classes: biographies of members and connections of his family, and descriptive and historical accounts of various countries and cities. To the first belong "Memorials of a Quiet Life" (his adoptive mother's), "Story of Two Noble Lives" (Lady Canning and Lady Waterford), "The Gurneys of Earlham", and an autobiography. To the second, numerous travel books compiled for John Murray: "Walks in Rome", "Walks in London", "Wanderings in Spain", "Cities of Northern, Southern, and Central Italy" (separate works), "Days near Rome", and many others. Hare was a friend to Basil Levett and his wife Lady Mary Levett, the daughter of the Earl of Shaftesbury, to whom Hare left a painting in his will.
