TFA blurb review
Robert Howard "Robin" Hodgkin taught at Queen's College, Oxford. He was appointed a lecturer of modern history in 1900, made a fellow in 1904, a tutor in 1910, and held the post of university lecturer in modern history from 1928 to 1934. In 1900 he volunteered to serve in the Northumberland Fusiliers during the Second Boer War and re-joined during the First World War. In 1936 and 1937, he was pro-provost when B. H. Streeter fell ill, resumed teaching in April, and retired towards the end of the year. A week later Streeter (now returned to his duties) died in a plane crash, and Hodgkin was asked to take on the role of provost permanently, which he did until 1946. Hodgkin was remembered for his dedication, his flexible teaching style, for shepherding the college through the wartime years, for the reconstruction of the college's grand library, and for his book on the college's history. He was particularly known for his 1935 work, A History of the Anglo-Saxons.
