Autorenporträt
Charles Oman, a notable figure in historical scholarship, was a British military historian whose contributions have been widely acknowledged in the field of medieval warfare. Born on January 12, 1860, in India, Oman later moved to Britain, where he was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford. Renowned for his detailed research and engaging narrative style, Oman's works have remained influential among both historians and military enthusiasts. His seminal work, 'The Art of War in the Middle Ages,' first published in 1885 and revised in 1898, offers an incisive analysis of military tactics and strategies from the fall of the Roman Empire to the early fourteenth century. Oman's approach combined a scholarly rigor with a captivating prose style that brought to life the complexities of medieval battlefields. His methodological innovation lay in his ability to examine military history from both a technical and societal perspective, making his insights valuable for understanding the broader cultural and political milieu of the Middle Ages. Beyond his military histories, Oman also held prestigious academic positions, serving as the Chichele Professor of Modern History at the University of Oxford and being knighted in 1920 for his academic contributions. He was a prolific author, penning numerous volumes on English and European history, contributing to the field until his death on June 23, 1946.
