Description:
Alan Cobban is one of the modern masters of the history of medieval universities. In this first comprehensive social history of the English medieval university, Cobban provides an appraisal of life at Oxford & Cambridge. Drawing on many sources( college & university archives, statutes, treatises, royal charters, municipal records, & miscellaneous extra-university records, Cobban creates a composite view of each section of the medieval English academic community. He also tells us about groups on the academic periphery (servants, benefactors, craftsmen, women in a variety of roles) who made significant contributions to what Cobban calls "the vigor & rich heterogeneity of the academic community."
