Reviews

A sumptuous production. [...] The erudition is cumulatively overwhelming, the entertainment liberally distributed.
*HISTORY*

[A] sumptuously produced book-remarkably good value for its length.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW*

A fine example of the vogue for large-scale histories of Oxford and Cambridge colleges.
*JOURNAL OF ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY*

There can be no doubt that Johnians...will find the college's new history diverting reading. [...] Handsomely produced by Boydell, based on exhaustive archival research, elegantly written and replete with the kind of biographical anecdote that gives spice to any institutional history.
