Evelyn S. (Evelyn Shirley) Shuckburgh

Born on July 12, 1843, and dying on July 10, 1906, Evelyn Shirley Shuckburgh was an English academic, schoolmaster, classical scholar, and translator. Reliable library and reference sources identify him especially with classical studies and with translations that helped bring authors such as Cicero and Polybius to a wider English-speaking audience.

His published work ranged widely across the ancient world. Catalog and library records show editions and translations including The Histories of Polybius, Letters of Cicero, and Treatises on Friendship and Old Age, along with his own books such as A History of Rome to the Battle of Actium, Augustus: The Life and Times of the Founder of the Roman Empire, and a history of Emmanuel College. Taken together, these works suggest a writer who cared both about careful scholarship and about explaining classical history in a clear, accessible way.
