The 'Chalet des Anglais' on Mont Blanc, home to the longest-running
university reading party, is a unique survivor from Victorian and
Edwardian Oxford, established in 1891 and continuing today. The
story of this remarkable institution has never previously been
reported. Oxford University on Mont Blanc: The Life of the Chalet
des Anglais records the life of the reading parties and of the
notable personalities involved in them, including Harold Macmillan
and Lord Hailsham. The writers Evelyn Waugh, Rupert Brooke and John
Betjeman also feature in the history of the Chalet. The book
explores the effects within the background of a collegiate
university that this unique institution has had on the lives of
those involved. The chalet is a unique lens through which to
understand what is meant by a collegiate university and also to
illustrate the implications of close student-tutor relationships
over the last century.
