First published in 1929, profound changes, political, social, economic and intellectual, had taken place fifty years prior, in the environment of civilized man, and it was still doubtful whether or not he would succeed in understanding them and adapting himself to meet them. That is the "ordeal" which forms the subject of these lectures.
Gilbert Murray (1866-1957) was a classical scholar, peace activist, and prominent humanist. As well as a distinguished classical scholar, he was an original and active member of the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief, founded in 1942, which later became Oxfam. He was deeply affected by the First World War, and after it he became one of the leading figures in promoting world peace through the League of Nations.
