Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book captures the subtle yet profound changes in Oxford from the pre-university era until the "reformation era." By focusing on how students lived, it charts the university's evolution from a rough-and-tumble medieval town to the established center of learning it would become. In lively prose, the author helps readers understand the historical context of events such as the Legate's arrival in 1214 and the significance of King Henry VIII's patronage. The book also provides insight into how the focus on theology shaped academics in England, even as the Renaissance was unfolding across Europe. It concludes with a thought-provoking analysis of how and why the arrival of the Renaissance in England was ultimately unsuccessful. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
