Arthur D. (Arthur Donald) Innes

Educated at Oriel College, Oxford, Arthur Donald Innes was a British historian and editor whose work focused largely on English history. He is remembered in particular for writing clear, readable surveys that helped bring major periods of the national story to a broad audience.

Among the works linked to him are England under the Tudors and school history texts, along with editions prepared for The Warwick Shakespeare. That mix of scholarship, teaching, and editorial work suggests a writer who cared not just about historical detail, but about making literature and history approachable.

Because many of his books were published in the early 20th century, Innes remains a familiar name in digitized historical collections today. His writing still appeals to readers who enjoy traditional narrative history, especially on Tudor England and related periods.
