Author Description

Excerpt from The Interpretation of Ancient Greek Literature: An Inaugural Lecture Delivered Before the University of Oxford, January 27 1909 Gentlemen, I am not going to dilate upon the diffi culties and misgivings which I feel in taking up the responsibilities of this great historic Chair, the Chair of Bywater, of Jowett, and of Gaisford.
