Oxford, the home of lost causes, the epitome of the world of
medieval and renaissance learning in Britain, has always fascinated
at a variety of levels: social, institutional, cultural. Its rival,
Cambridge, was long dominated by mathematics, while Oxford's
leading study was Classics. In this pioneering book, 16 leading
authorities explore a variety of aspects of Oxford Classics in the
last two hundred years: curriculum, teaching and learning,
scholarly style, publishing, gender and social exclusion and the
impact of German scholarship. Greats (Literae Humaniores) is the
most celebrated classical course in the world: here its early days
in the mid-19th century and its reform in the late 20th are
discussed, in the latter case by those intimately involved with the
reforms. An opening chapter sets the scene by comparing Oxford with
Cambridge Classics, and several old favourites are revisited,
including such familiar Oxford products as Liddell and Scott's
"Greek-English Lexicon", the "Oxford Classical Texts", and
Zimmern's "Greek Commonwealth". The book as a whole offers a
pioneering, wide-ranging survey of Classics in Oxford.
