Sir Richard Claverhouse (R. C.) Jebb (1841 1905) was a prominent
classical scholar and politician. Jebb was University Orator at
Cambridge before becoming Professor of Greek at Glasgow in 1875,
and eventually returning to Cambridge as Regius Professor. His many
publications include books on Greek oratory, Homer, and modern
Greece as well as editions of ancient Greek drama. The two-volume
Attic Orators from Antiphon to Isaeos (1876) was written with two
primary objectives: to attend to a significant but often neglected
element of Greek literature, Attic prose oratory, and to situate
that oratory within its social and political contexts. Jebb
analyses a number of rhetors from the period before Demosthenes,
providing a thorough overview of the genre during this 'best period
of Athens'. Volume 1 focuses on the lives, historical contexts, and
works of the orators Antiphon, Andokides and Lysias, while Volume 2
is devoted to Isokrates and Isaeos.
