   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Forster, John (1812-1876)

English biographer and historian. His biography of Charles Dickens (1872-74) was a standard work. He also wrote lives of the leading figures of Oliver Cromwell's Commonwealth (1836-39), a fine biography of Oliver Goldsmith (1848), and the first volume of a life of Jonathan Swift (1875).

He was born in Newcastle, studied at University College, London, and became a barrister but soon gave up law for literature. In 1846 he succeeded Dickens as editor of the Daily News for a few months and was editor of the Examiner from 1847-55.
