Historique
Harriet Grote was born in Hampshire and educated at home. In 1820 she married George Grote, whom she had known for several years and who had introduced her to modern scholarship in the fields of politics, economics and philosophy. Mrs Grote was acquainted with Jeremy Bentham, John Stuart Mill, Thomas Babington Macaulay and other leading thinkers and scholars, and she and her husband became known as leading voices in radical politics. After her husband's death, she was his biographer. Harriet Grote's own biography was written by Elizabeth, Lady Eastlake (née Rigby), a copy of which is available in Senate House Library Special Collections - classmark: Fc [Grote - Eastlake].
