Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lavishly illustrated and beautifully produced, this book offers an affectionate and engaging narrative of Hughes Hall's remarkable story of achievement, tracing the history of the oldest graduate college in Cambridge back to its modest foundation in 1885 as the Cambridge Training College for Women Teachers.

Book excerpt: A TIMES AND SUNDAY TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2021 ‘The Red Prince announces Helen Carr as one of the most exciting new voices in narrative history.’ Dan Jones Son of Edward III, brother to the Black Prince, father to Henry IV and the sire of all the Tudors. Always close to the English throne, John of Gaunt left a complex legacy. Too rich, too powerful, too haughty… did he have his eye on his nephew’s throne? Why was he such a focus of hate in the Peasants’ Revolt? In examining the life of a pivotal medieval figure, Helen Carr paints a revealing portrait of a man who held the levers of power on the English and European stage, passionately upheld chivalric values, pressed for the Bible to be translated into English, patronised the arts, ran huge risks to pursue the woman he loved… and, according to Shakespeare, gave the most beautiful of all speeches on England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cambridge and Its Colleges That it is difficult to say anything new; and this little book is therefore merely an attempt to put together recorded facts in an orderly way. I have followed throughout the arrangement adopted by Mr Wells in his book on Oxford and its Colleges, and have also borrowed his method of marking the portraits of college worthies with an asterisk. Every writer on Cambridge must be under a great obligation to Willis and Clark's Architectural History of the University; and Mr Atkinson's lately published book gives a singular completeness to the authorities for the architectural side of the question. Building at Cambridge, however, is a complex problem, - the history of Clare and the University Church are cases in point-and to follow out carefully every date and mark every alteration would be beyond these limits. My endeavour has been, therefore, to indicate the general date of every building rather than to assign a date to every particular part of its construction. For the historical part of the book, the authorities, grave and anecdotal, are too numerous to mention. Among modern.

Download or read book The Cambridge Colleges written by Reginald Brimley Johnson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1903 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1867, Reginald Brimley Johnson matriculated at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, in 1886. He had a prolific career as a literary, critic, author, and editor. In 1900 he established his own press in Edinburgh and London.His "The Cambridge Colleges" was first published in 1903 and was republished many times over the next two decades. In its pages Johnson draws from the classic texts including Fuller's The History of the University of Cambridge, as well as Willis' The Architectural History of the University of Cambridge. These he supplements with his own first-hand knowledge of late nineteenth-century Cambridge, telling the dramatic story of how an institution occupied in deep religious turmoil from birth came to be strengthened with the Dissolution of the Monasteries and gain the favour of kings and queens, to survive the religious reformations to present day magnificence.While ostensibly impartial, his narrative reveals opinions on subjects ranging from the foundation of the women's colleges to the destruction of old college architecture, painting an invaluable picture of the time, and intimating a portrait of a Cambridge man.This new edition from Vernon Library makes the original text available to the interested public and scholars.

Download or read book St John's College, Cambridge written by Peter Linehan and published by Boydell Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 779 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first book to describe fully the foundations and development of St John's College Cambridge, highlighting the role its alumni have always played in the life of the nation. Within a generation of its foundation on the site of a decayed hospital at the behest of Lady Margaret Beaufort, England's queen mother, the College of St John the Evangelist had established itself as one of the kingdom's foremosteducational establishments: in the words of one notable contemporary, as 'an university within it selfe' indeed. And in the period thereafter - the years between 1511 and 1989, the period covered by the present volume - St John's has continued to provide its fair share of Prime Ministers and other politicians, bishops, Nobel laureates, artists, writers, and sporting heroes, as well as to irrigate the rich loam of the nation's history in all sorts of other unexpected ways and places. However, not until the organisation of the College's archives and records in the present generation has it been possible to describe in sufficient detail the full story of that progress and adequately to trace the College's development and achievements in recent centuries. The present history, the first since the early 1700s to provide a systematic and informed account of the subject, seeks to make good this historical defect. It is published as part of the celebration of the quincentenary of the College's foundation.

Written from the perspective of a former dean, the book offers a unique understanding of the challenges facing legal education and research.
