Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a unique historical glimpse into the world of 18th-century Oxford University through the eyes of the author. A member of Exeter College, the author details the self-assured superiority and political intrigue that plagued the halls of his institution. The traditional and established ways of thinking were being challenged, and political allegiances were dividing academics and students alike. The author himself was involved in a significant election, using this as a case study to reveal the extent to which political fervor and ambitious self-interest were rampant within the university. Through the lens of this election and several plots and investigations that plagued campus grounds, the author unveils a world of backroom deals and clandestine motivations, offering insights into the broader history of political and academic life in the 18th century.
