Arthur Sidgwick

Arthur Sidgwick, 1896 lithograph

Arthur Sidgwick (1840–1920) was an English classical scholar who had an early career as a schoolteacher.[1] Despite his self-deprecating remark "in erudition I am naught", he is considered a great teacher of ancient Greek poetry.[2] He also became an important figure in the advancement of female education at the University of Oxford.
