This richly illustrated book traces the story of Oxford University
from its origins in the Middle Ages to the present day. Written by
a team of scholars, all authorities in their fields, it spans 800
years of learning and incident to give a uniquely authoritative
history of the University for the general reader. Since the Middle
Ages, Oxford University's part in learning has always been
significant and colourful. Many future leaders of the nation have
been educated there. The architecture of the University and
colleges has become one of the glories of Europe, and its libraries
and museums house a number of major collections. But most
importantly, a university must be judged by its attachment to
scholarship - a theme which runs throughout this book. Students
have been drawn to Oxford from all over the world, and today the
University is internationally recognized for its contribution to
research, both in the sciences and in the liberal arts.
Authoritative, scholarly, and informative, this book captures the
richness and diversity of Oxford University, and its contribution
to the nation and to the world. In addition to over 200
illustrations, including 24 full-colour plates, specifically chosen
to complement the wide-ranging text, there are also 5 maps, a
chronology, annotated guides to further reading, and a full index.
