James Henry Weldon Morwood (25 November 1943 – 10 September 2017) was an English classicist and author. He taught at Harrow School, where he was Head of Classics,[1][2] and at Oxford University, where he was a Fellow of Wadham College, and also Dean.[3][4] He wrote almost thirty books, ranging from biography to translations and academic studies of Classical literature.[3]
His best-known work is The Oxford Latin Course (1987–92, with Maurice Balme, new ed, 2012), whose popularity in the USA led to the publication of a specifically American edition in 1996. Morwood is credited with helping to ensure the survival - even flourishing - of Classical education into the twenty-first century, both in the UK and the USA.[3][5]
