History of the University of Oxford: Volume V: The Eighteenth Century

Zusatztext `This encyclopedic compilation is throughout an exemplar of the highest standards of scholarship: its comprehensive coverage of the eighteenth century will provide a most valuable source for historians of politics, scholarship, life and manners of the period.' David Phillips, Oxford Review of Education Zusammenfassung Shows a contrasting picture of eighteenth-century Oxford to that presented by Edward Gibbon in his "Autobiography". Attention is given to the University's role in national politics, its social and administrative structure, and its relationship with the Church, as well as a range of academic life and culture in eighteenth-century Oxford.
