Gilbert Murray, OM, 1866-1957The story of Gilbert Murray is that of a brilliant scholar and diplomat--a man who emigrated to England from Australia, made a distinguished career as a classicist at Oxford and Glasgow, and became Chairman of the League of Nations Union. Drawing on Murray's own letters and writings, the late Sir Duncan Wilson, himself an esteemed classical scholar, writes with freshness and perception of Murray's classical work and international efforts. |
