Arthur D. (Arthur Donald) Innes

Born in 1863 and active as a historian and writer, Arthur D. Innes is best known for works on English and British history, especially the Tudor period. Catalog and library records consistently identify him as Arthur Donald Innes (1863–1938), and surviving records also describe him as a historian.

His books range from broad national histories to focused studies such as England under the Tudors, Ten Tudor Statesmen, Cranmer and the Reformation in England, and A History of England and the British Empire. The record of his publications suggests a writer who aimed to bring serious history to a wider audience without losing sight of politics, religion, and the personalities that shaped events.

Innes wrote at a time when historical scholarship was expanding quickly, and his work sits between academic research and popular history. That makes his books especially approachable for listeners who enjoy classic narrative history and want a strong introduction to England's rulers, reformers, and political turning points.
