Description
Summary:This is no mere institutional history, since Hoyle makes it abundantly clear that what went on in England’s second university was of great moment to the political and religious establishment. Those who studied at Cambridge were often destined for high office and the position of head of house was much sought after. Hoyle has a highly readable style as he brilliantly evokes the appearance of Cambridge and usefully outlines such things as the university curriculum, discipline, and the workings of important bodies such as the Chancellor’s Consistory Court.
