Charles Reade (8 June 1814 – 11 April 1884) was an English novelist and dramatist,
William Winwood Reade, the influential historian, was his nephew.
Charles Reade (1814-84) joined the ESL in 1864 and the ASL a year later. He was a Fellow of Magdalen College; a fellowship which he obtained in a slightly dubious fashion but which he retained all his life. He is best known as a novelist and playwright. He had to reside in college to retain his fellowship but spent much time in London where he led a fairly bohemian life – married actresses seem to have been his thing thus protecting him from any chance of having to give up his fellowship by becoming married. Once again and as far as we know he was not involved with the OAS and cannot be regarded as having contributed to anthropology at Oxford. Nor does he appear to have played much part with the ESL and ASL. It may be that he hoped that attendance at their meetings would provide him with juicy ethnographic facts that he could include in his writings since the ODNB states that they:
set a new standard of gruesome naturalism for the mid-Victorian period and reveal a vicarious sadism also evident, in a milder form, in many of the other scenes of violence in his novels and plays.
Even if this is not the case his works were quoted by Fellows of the ASL. In an article by J McGrigor Allan entitled ‘On the real differences in the Minds of Men and Women’, published in The Anthropological Review in 1869 (Vol. 7) (That is Hunt’s own journal) Reade is quoted in support of the intellectual fallibility of women.
