From the blurb: "Few cities have played a more prominent role in Britain's history than Oxford. Already an important centre for religion and trade by the thirteenth century, the foundation then of the first colleges established it as one of Europe's most venerated seats of learning. Through the ages, city and University have stood many times in the spotlight of the political events and cultural movements that have shaped the nation; and together they have nurtured men and women whose influence and achievements have won Oxford renow n throughout the world. The Encyclopaedia of Oxford is the most comprehensive book ever published on this most fascinating of cities. Here in a single volume is a complete portrait of Oxford, past and present, recording every aspect of the city and its University: origins and history, traditions and legends, institutions and buildings, gardens and streets, industry and commerce, and the surrounding villages and countryside. Here too are the people, the grand and the humble, famous and infamous, who have brought Oxford to life: artists, scientists, writers and thinkers; statesmen, churchmen, scholars and teachers; businessmen and industrialists, innkeepers and shopkeepers, criminals and eccentrics. The Encyclopaedia, compiled under the editorship of the distinguished historian Christopher Hibbert, comprises over 1000 entries, each written by an expert, fully cross- referenced and supported by extensive appendices, glossary and indexes, It is illustrated with more than 250 drawings, prints and photographs, and includes maps of Oxford and its surroundings."
