Sinopsis

A Traveller's History of Oxford will give the reader a clear account of Oxford's earliest beginnings from Roman times, its Anglo-Saxon past, its importance in medieval England, the founding of the different colleges, its status as Royalist capital during the Civil War and after this crisis, its recovery and continuing growth right up to the 21st century. It will also look closely at the story behind the beautiful buildings and discuss Oxford's gifts to the world both in the alumni which include five kings, 25 British Prime Ministers, 36 Nobel Prize winners and 85 archbishops, and in the world of ideas. It will also have practical information on exploring the town and its environs. There are special sections on Oxford's museums, art, statues, libraries, gardens and colleges.
