Richard Claverhouse Jebb (1841-1905), Regius Professor of Greek and Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, was one of the foremost classicists of the Victorian era. His editions of Sophocles' plays appeared between 1883 and 1896. They are distinguished by the sensitivity of Jebb's literary and dramatic interpretations, and the neat translation facing the Greek text. They have had a profound influence on subsequent Sophoclean scholarship.

All seven plays of Sophocles in their full editions by Jebb have been reissued in this series. They have occasionally been reprinted but never before in affordable paperback versions. In this new edition, each volume contains, in addition to Jebb's text, a General Introduction by P.E. Easterling, concerned with Jebb and his contribution to Sophoclean scholarship, and an Introduction by a noted Sophoclean scholar dealing with Jebb's treatment of the individual play and its value for - and contrast with - subsequent interpretations, for which a select bibliography is included.
