W. F. Jackson Knight

William Francis Jackson Knight (1895–1964) was a classical scholar and teacher.

Knight "loved Virgil, and he communicates his love even to those who cannot agree with his method; he must have done more than many greater scholars have done towards making Virgil's poetry (and with it the Latin language) live and move for all kinds of readers. He seems, in his Virgilianism, always to have been stretching out his hands in longing for some further shore; he makes us conscious that such a shore exists, even though we may not travel in his company" (R. G. Austin). Provided by Wikipedia
