About the author
Born in 1876 and active in Britain as a scholar and teacher, Charles Reginald Haines is best remembered as a classicist who also wrote far beyond the ancient world. Sources connected with Harvard University Press identify him as Master of Dover College, and records about his published works show an unusually broad range of interests.
His books include Christianity and Islam in Spain, Islam as a Missionary Religion, Jeane la Pucelle, the Maid of Orleans, Dover Priory, and editions and translations of classical texts such as the correspondence of Fronto in the Loeb Classical Library. That mix of subjects helps explain his appeal: he could move from religious and medieval history to biography, local history, and Latin scholarship without losing his clear sense of narrative.
Haines died in 1935. No suitable verified portrait image was confirmed from the sources reviewed here, so a profile image is not included.
