Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive history of Oriel College, Oxford, one of the oldest and most distinguished colleges in the university. Beginning with the college's founding in 1326 by Adam de Brome, the book traces Oriel's development over the centuries, from its humble beginnings to its present-day status as a world-renowned center for learning and scholarship. Along the way, the book sheds light on the broader history of Oxford University itself, exploring the evolution of collegiate life, the challenges faced by medieval scholars, and the ways in which Oriel has adapted to the changing educational and social landscape. The book also delves into the lives of some of Oriel's most famous alumni, including John Henry Newman and Thomas Arnold. By weaving together archival research with vivid storytelling, the author provides a rich and nuanced portrayal of Oriel's unique place in the history of Oxford and English education.
