JOWETT: A PORTRAIT WITH BACKGROUND
Published by Faber & Faber Limited. 2nd. 1958
Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. Benjamin Jowett, 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. This is the second and revised edition. Dark red cloth boards, gilt title to spine. A few b/w illustrations. 456 pages including index.
Top & tail of spine lightly shelf-rubbed. Boards clean. Light browning to text block. Endpapers browned. Inscription in ink to front endpaper. Contents otherwise clean. Blue dustwrapper is lightly worn at top & tail of spine, browned with some foxing, small closed tear to top rear corner.
