Jan Morris has given us a brilliant and thoroughly enjoyable exploration the history, architecture, geography, and culture of one of England's most historic, beautiful, enigmatic and visited cities -- Oxford. This is the perfect guide for local historians, visitors to the city, and prospective students of the famous university.
''Few cities,'' Jan Morris observes, ''have been much more loved, loathed, and celebrated.'' This book has become a classic account of the character, history, mores, buildings, climate, and people of one of Britain''s most fascinating cities. ''A book of outstanding excellence, with a sweep of knowledge and a distinction of style such as I have never before encountered in a work of this sort ... Brilliant alike in observation and imagination ... brings the very stones of Oxford to life''Sunday Telegraph.
