Seller's Description:
Near Fine. 0198174233. Tight unmarked book in lightly rubbed card covers.; 5.8 X 0.9 X 8.2 inches; 384 pages; This concise yet comprehensive guide chronicles the architectural evolution of Oxford—encompassing both the historic university colleges and the surrounding city—from its Anglo-Saxon origins in the late 7th century to the late 20th century. Tyack emphasizes the "idiosyncrasies" of Oxford's built environment, such as the intimate scale of its medieval colleges, the Gothic Revival excesses of the 19th century, and the often-overlooked suburban expansions. Unlike exhaustive tomes on individual landmarks (e. G., Christopher Wren's Sheldonian Theatre), this book prioritizes a chronological, walkable narrative focused on what visitors can actually see today, making it ideal for armchair readers, tourists, or architecture students. It places buildings in their socio-political context, highlighting how Oxford's architecture reflects England's shifting power dynamics, from monastic foundations to modern brutalism.
