Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an anthology of scholarly writing that examines the social and academic challenges faced by Oxford University during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The essays critique Oxford's failure to keep up with the times, particularly in terms of its entrenched conservatism and resistance to include modern subjects into the curriculum. The author argues that a lack of leadership and an unwillingness to reconsider educational priorities have led Oxford to fall behind other institutions and fail to attract working-class students. The author also argues that Oxford's social and intellectual shortcomings have impacts beyond the university, negatively affecting British society as a whole. Nevertheless, this book is not simply a condemnation of Oxford, but also a celebration of the university's unique culture and traditions. The author is ultimately hopeful that Oxford can overcome its challenges and continue to be a beacon of learning and progress.
