Benjamin Jowett
Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893) was Master of Balliol College, Oxford, born at Camberwell. He was a fellow and tutor of his college till his election to the mastership in 1870. His name will always be associated with Balliol College, where his influence was felt, and made the deepest impression. He wrote an article "On the Interpretation of Scripture" in the "Essays and Reviews," and a commentary on certain epistles of St. Paul, but he achieved his greatest literary successes by his translations of Plato's "Dialogues," the "History" of Thucydides, and the "Politics" of Aristotle.Wisdom & Quotes
