Sir Charles Grant Robertson CVO (1869 – 29 February 1948) was a British academic historian.
He also published a light work called "Voces academicae, short scenes of student life in Oxford" in 1898 and produced a series of romantic novels under the pseudonym Wymond Carey between 1902 and 1907.
[5] He was president of the Johnson Society at Lichfield from 1939 to 1944[6] In spite of his racy early writings, Grant Robertson was a rather aloof and prudish bachelor.
He was particularly recalled as wordy, one commentator observing that he "never used a single word to express himself, if a paragraph could more gracefully define his meaning".
[4] Harry Hodson recalled he was "a teacher by nature, and would lecture copiously among his contemporaries and juniors, little heeding if their attention wandered, raising the question, 'Can an interesting man be a bore?'
