About the author

Born in 1828, Henry William Chandler was an English classical scholar closely associated with Oxford. He studied at Pembroke College and later became a fellow of Pembroke, building a reputation as an exceptionally learned teacher and researcher in Greek literature and philosophy.

Chandler is especially remembered for A Practical Introduction to Greek Accentuation, a book that served generations of students of Greek. He was also deeply engaged with Aristotle and the ancient commentators, and contemporaries regarded him as a scholar of unusual range and precision.

Although not all of his larger projects reached completion, his influence came through his teaching, his published work, and the respect he earned among fellow classicists. He died in 1889.
