Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893) , pronounced to rhyme with 'know it',
although never debunked as such by Lytton Strachey was nothing if
not an Eminent Victorian: English scholar, classicist and
theologian, and Master of Balliol College. First published in 1957,
Geoffrey Faber's biography still holds its own. To quote from some
of the original reviews: 'Sir Geoffrey Faber is admirably equipped
for his task ... In an urbane prose he reveals intimacy with the
background, command of detail, psychological acumen and sympathy
with his subject. I hope that this long book may prove as popular
as his ''Oxford Apostles'' to which it forms a complement'. Raymond
Mortimer, Sunday Times ' ... this fine biography ... filled with
some fascinating by-paths of Oxford history, but never losing sight
of the strange, imperious bachelor who forms its theme ... Sir
Geoffrey places all serious students of the Victorian age deeply in
his debt'. Roger Fulford, Manchester Guardian
