John Stuart Blackie (1809–1895) was a distinguished Scottish scholar and man of letters, known for his work as a professor, literary critic, and writer. He held professorships in Greek at the University of Aberdeen and later at the University of Edinburgh, which helped him become a leading figure in the Scottish educational and cultural scenes of the 19th century. Blackie was known for his advocacy of higher education reforms and his passion for Hellenism, which is reflected in his extensive scholarship on Greek literature and philosophy. His literary output was varied, including both scholarly works and poetry. Among his notable contributions to literature, 'What Does History Teach?' stands out as an exemplary work that delves into the lessons of history and their applicability to contemporary society. Blackie was a proponent of the idea that historical studies should not be mere chronicles of events but should serve as a means for moral and intellectual edification, a belief that infused his writings. His style combined erudition with an engaging and accessible prose that endeared him to a broad readership. In addition to his academic pursuits, Blackie's warm personality and impressive oratory skills made him an influential public speaker on various subjects, including social justice and national education.
