  • "Among the topics discussed are the history of student communities in Oxford and Cambridge, the growth of a modern examinations culture, urbanism and universities, and the competition to control universities."
  • "This series of interlinked essays takes the form of historical 'voyages' around the Victorian intellectual John Henry Newman, and Newman's classic work The idea of a university, as well as changes in the structure and culture of universities occurring in Newman's lifetime. The voyages connect nineteenth- and twentieth-century university history, mainly in Britain and the United States but with side excursions to continental Europe. Among the many important topics discussed are the history of student communities in Oxford and Cambridge, the growth of a modern examinations culture, university architecture and the use of space in connection with educational ideals, urbanism and universities, and the competition of states, markets and academic guilds for the control of universities and the right to define the missions of university professors."
