Sir Richard Jebb (1841-1905) was the outstanding British classical scholar of the second half of the nineteenth century. This memoir, published by his widow in 1907, gives a rounded picture of the man chiefly remembered today for his editions of the plays of Sophocles, but who was also instrumental in founding the British Schools of Archaeology in Athens and Rome and the British Academy, and who as a Member of Parliament for Cambridge University played a significant part in the politics of his day, especially in educational reform at both school and university level. Extracts from his letters and speeches show the energy and enthusiasm which he brought to his many roles, and a sense of humour which may not be too evident in his published work but was remembered by his students as a feature of the lectures which secured his reputation as a great teacher.

Originally published one year after his death, the book collects a selection of articles by the respected Classicist Arthur Verrall (1851 1912). The essays, which include six previously unpublished papers, cover a variety of topics, including Latin verse and Greek history. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Classics or the history of Classical scholarship."

Originally published in 1905, this book contains four lengthy essays by the classical scholar A. W. Verrall on four plays by Euripides: Andromache, Helen, Orestes and Heracles, all of which Verrall considers to have been overlooked by contemporary scholarship. Verrall's assessment remains of use as a guide to these still-understudied plays, and will be of value to anyone with an interest in ancient drama.

Arthur Woollgar Verrall (1851 1912) was a renowned British classical and literary scholar. First published in 1914, this book presents content derived from a series of lectures given by Verrall during October and November 1911, marking his appointment as King Edward VII Professor of English Literature at Cambridge University. The text focuses on various aspects of Dryden's writings and his age, revealing 'the importance of his work in the development of English prose and verse, and its comparative neglect among the younger lovers of literature'. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Dryden and the works of Verrall."

Originally published in 1906, this volume gathers together the candidate praelections for the Regius Professorship of Greek at the University of Cambridge, given during January 1906 at the Senate House. Each candidate was required to provide a one-hour lecture on a passage of Ancient Greek assigned by the Electors of the post. A chapter is given to each candidate as follows: Henry Jackson on Plato, Cratylus, chapters 42-44; James Adam on Pindar, fragment, 131; A. W. Verrall on Aeschylus, Eumenides, 734-743; Walter Headlam on Aeschylus, Agamemnon, second Chorus; William Ridgeway on Aeschylus, Supplices, 304 sqq. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Ancient Greek and classical studies at Cambridge.

Arthur Woolgar Verrall (1851-1912) was a classicist, a lecturer, and the first Professor of English Literature at the University of Cambridge. During his academic career he published several works of scholarship, chiefly critical studies, editions, and translations of classical Greek and Latin texts, but also critiques of modern literature. In this collection of literary essays, published posthumously in 1913, the subjects of criticism range from Dante's epic poetry to Sir Walter Scott's prose, demonstrating the breadth of Verrall's literary consciousness and interest. This anthology was edited by M. A. Bayfield and J. D. Duff and includes a ninety-four-page memoir of the author, a transcript of his memorial inscription from the antechapel of Trinity College, Cambridge, and a commemorative address by J. W. Mackail.
