Reseña del editor:
As 'the English Athens', Oxford has long been seen as central to England's intellectual life. For over six centuries the city has been lauded, slighted, and cited in the pages of English literature. While it has been hailed as the embodiment of excellence, beauty, and truth on the one hand, it has also been attacked for its elitism, insularity, and traditionalism on the other. Oxford in English Literature provides for the first time an overview of these literary representations, ranging from Chaucer's account of medieval students to modern-day detective stories set in the city. Oxford in English Literature is aimed at the general reader with literary interests and is not burdened by specialist jargon or theory. Its familiar subject and the inclusion of numerous rare and specially commissioned illustrations and photographs make this a compelling book for those attracted to and interested in Oxford and in English literature.
