James Bass Mullinger (1834 1917) was a University Lecturer in
History and Librarian at St. John's College, Cambridge. His
monumental three-volume history of the university was the standard
one at the turn of the twentieth century. For most of his career
Mullinger worked on the project alongside his academic duties and
his writing for periodicals, the first volume appearing in 1873 and
the last in 1911. His extraordinary range of knowledge and the
sheer scale of the work make this ambitious project a landmark in
the history of universities in Britain. Volume 1 covers the
beginnings of the university and the foundation of the early
colleges, up to the death of Erasmus. Mullinger compares medieval
Cambridge with the universities of Bologna and Oxford, and always
keeps in view the university's influence on the country as a whole
through the education of its political and social elites.

a century that saw the most turbulent changes in the university as
in the country as a whole. In particular, Mullinger shows how the
Reformation was enthusiastically supported by Cambridge men, and
how it affected education in the period, ending with an assessment
of the divisions that were to lead to the Civil War.
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.
