London: Frank Cass and Co Limited, 1968. This work was first published in 1877 at a time when the English university scene was rapidly changing and the author, a fellow at Peterhouse, Cambridge, wrote in the preface that it was his endeavour "to collect in this volume some of the materials which are requiste for a faithful account of Cambridge and Oxford in the 18th century I have taken some pains to bring to light some of the secrets of university history and of literary lore which have lain dormant in manuscripts. A glance at the contents page shows how comprehensively he has described the universities of the 18th century. The first few chapters are devoted to the history and method of the old Cambridge test and examination for the first degree in arts and to the studying of mathematics, the predominant course, while the next chapter is concerned with the trivials of the old regime, grammar, logic and rhetoric.The subsidiary studies of the old tripos, classics and of moral philosophy, are next examined and followed in turn by a consideration of law as part of professional education; the development of the study of modern history at Oxford ; Oriental studies and a description of the elementary courses in a physicians education, physics, anatomy ,chemistry, mineralogy and botany. The question of special qualifications for the second degree in arts which was becoming accepted at Oxford though barely recognised at Cambridge is also discussed and the book ends with nine appendices which contain documents relating chiefly to old courses and schemes of study, methods of examination and disputations, honorary decrees, Cambridge University Calendars and the University Press. 435 pp including index This book is POSTED AT OUR STANDARD RATES FULLY INSURED (UK) ONLY . .Please email for further details.

Still in publishers original shrink-wrap. Mapping has become a key term in current critical discourse, describing a particular cognitive mode of gaining control over the world, of synthesising cultural and geographical information, and of successfully navigating both physical and mental space. In this timely collection, an international team of renaissance scholars analyses the material practice behind this semiotic concept. By examining map-driven changes in gender identities, body conception, military practices, political structures, national imaginings, and imperial aspirations, the essays in this volume expose the multi-layered investments of historical paper landscapes in the politics of space. Ranging widely across visual and textual artifacts implicated in the culture of mapping, from the literature of Shakespeare, Spenser, Marlowe and Jonson, to representations of body, city, nation and empire, Literature, Mapping, and the Politics of Space argues for a thorough reevaluation of the impact of cartography on the shaping of social and political identities in early modern Britain.

Synopsis: Mr. Noon is a sardonic tale about the amorous adventures of Gilbert Noon, a young schoolmaster in Lawrence's home county of Nottinghamshire who gets entangled with a girl, loses his job, and decides to leave the country to escape the narrow provincial middle-class morality. It was first known as a long story posthumously published in A Modern Lover (1934) and collected in the volume called Phoenix II (1968). Lawrence in fact wrote a long continuation of the novel, but the manuscript disappeared for many years. The Cambridge edition brought the two parts together for the first time. It is like a sequel to Sons and Lovers, but much more straightforwardly autobiographical. The publication of the complete work added a new work of major importance to the canon of a great writer, and was widely hailed as a major literary event., Cambridge University Press, 1985, 5, Great Britain: Cambridge at the University Press, 1948.

In a vague way, no aim to that end having guided thw writing of it, this book has become an autobiography for the years 1884 to 1891. For a long time after that my wheelwright business went on with no important change in technical matters although I had started some machinery; but there were great changes, for me personally, in the management of it; for in 1891 that I engaged a foreman-manager, William Goatcher, who after a few years became my partner. Incidentally his coming necessitated more careful book-keeping and 'costing'; but my chief aim was to secure more freedom for myself; and in that respect the change was indeed a success.
