About the author
Educated at Cambridge, Charles Reginald Haines went on to build a career as a scholar, teacher, and editor. Reliable library and publisher records identify him as a British classical scholar, and Harvard University Press notes that he served as Master of Dover College.
He is especially known for his English translations and editions of classical works, including The Communings with Himself of Marcus Aurelius and the Correspondence of Marcus Cornelius Fronto. His bibliography also shows an unusually broad range of interests, with books on Christianity and Islam in Spain, the opium trade, verse, biography, and even birds.
That mix of deep classical learning and wide curiosity makes his work appealing well beyond specialists. Whether he was translating Roman thought or writing on history and religion, his books suggest a patient, well-read author who liked making difficult subjects accessible.
