Benjamin Jowett: Master of Balliol is a biographical account of the life and career of Benjamin Jowett, a prominent scholar and educator in 19th century England. Written by Lionel Arthur Tollemache and originally published in 1904, the book traces Jowett's early years as a student at Oxford University, his rise to become a respected professor of Greek and theology, and his tenure as Master of Balliol College, one of Oxford's most prestigious academic institutions. The book also delves into Jowett's personal life, including his relationships with friends, colleagues, and students, as well as his controversial views on religion and politics. Throughout the book, Tollemache paints a vivid portrait of Jowett as a complex and multifaceted figure, admired by many for his intellect and leadership, but also criticized for his unorthodox beliefs and sometimes abrasive personality. Overall, Benjamin Jowett: Master of Balliol offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of the most influential figures in 19th century Oxford, and sheds light on the social and intellectual milieu of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
