Alfred John Church (1829–1912) was a renowned English classical scholar and author, well-known for his accessible renditions of Latin and Greek texts into English prose for young readers. His work often sought to retain the spirit and substance of the original texts while adapting them to the sensibilities and comprehension of a broader audience. With a prolific career, Church contributed significantly to the popularization of classical literature. His scholarly endeavors bore fruit in the form of numerous adaptations, among which 'The Life of King Henry V of England' stands out as a historical narrative, blending the firm strokes of scholarly research with the appealing colors of storytelling suited for the Victorian age's literary palate. His narrative style often infused didactic elements into his retellings, intending to provide moral education as much as entertainment. Church also penned works such as 'Stories from Homer' and 'Stories from Virgil,' which further solidify his reputation as a mediator between the ancient worlds and the 19th-century English reading public. His adaptations have been appreciated for their loyalty to the source material and their effort to maintain the cultural and educational value of the classics for younger audiences.
