In recent years, the history of universities has become a thriving
field of research, but no convenient summary has been available to
the reader. This book offers a clear and concise introduction to
the subject. It surveys the debate on the significance of British
university development, and relates it to general questions about
British social history. It asks how far the nature of British
elites has changed since Victorian times, what contribution
universities have made to social mobility, and whether higher
education (despite its expansion since the Second World War) has
really become more democratic. In this unique general account of
the development of British universities the author covers all parts
of the British Isles, and provides a comprehensive bibliography for
further study.
