James Bass Mullinger (1834-1917) was a University Lecturer in
History and Librarian at St. John's College, Cambridge. His
monumental History of the University was the standard history of
the University at the turn of the twentieth century. For most of
his career Mullinger worked on the project, alongside his academic
duties and his many articles, the first volume appearing in 1873
and the last in 1911. His extraordinary range of knowledge and the
ambition of the work make this an important landmark in the history
of universities in Britain. This volume covers the political and
religious turmoil of the Civil War and the Restoration, ending
symbolically with the decline of the Cambridge Platonists, the
major philosophical movement of the seventeenth century. Mullinger
describes the role the University played in the rise and fall of
Buckingham and of Cromwell, and explores its early connections with
America.
