Description:PRE ISBN.NOTE: Christopher Hobhouse was killed whilst on active service, in England, in 1940.From the front-inside dustcover:“In ‘Oxford’, Christopher Hobhouse tells how the City and university have become what they are today. His method is one of comparison. He describes in turn the Oxford of Medieval Renaissance, Reformation, Classical, Nineteenth Century, and Modern Times, and after each section he gives an account of what remains today of the buildings of the period. The book is thus both a history and a guide to the University. But it is also something more. Mr Hobhouse is an individual and critical writer and his dissatisfaction with the hurrying, scientifically and material-minded Oxford of today is always apparent.Side by side with the text is the finest selection of pictures over 130 in number, which has yet illustrated a book on Oxford. They have been taken, on one hand, from such old sources as Loggan’s ‘Oxonia Illustrata’ (1675), from Rowlandson’s inimitable sketches and from Ackerman’s ‘History of the University of Oxford’; and on the other, from the best modern photographs, most of them specially taken. The whole book, with its maps and colour plates, provides an admirable introduction to Oxford for the undergraduate or visitor, while the ordinary reader will find in it a wonderfully complete – and provocative – account of the best-known university in the world.”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
