Paperback

    Originally published in 1926, this book is a fascinating account of life in England from the mid-nineteenth century to the early 1920s as experienced by the classicist and academic W. E. Heitland. Much of the text focuses on Heitland's time in Cambridge, first as an undergraduate and later as an academic, and the challenges the university experienced as a result of the introduction of women and the events of the First World War. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in the history of the University of Cambridge or in the history of Britain in the early twentieth century.
