Sharon Turner (1768 – 1847) was an English historian. He authored several titles. Sir Walter Scott acknowledged his debt to Turner for his historical work to his novel “Ivanhoe.” “The Sacred History of the World,” being one of his last works, is a translation of “Beowulf” and a poem on Richard III. Turner's place as a historian has been debated by later generations of academics.
