Beschreibung:
John Maddicott was born at Exeter in Devonshire and comes from a Devon farming background similar to that of the founder of the College whose history he sets out in this book. He read History at Worcester College, Oxford, and was Fellow and tutor in medieval history at Exeter College from 1969 to 2006. He was elected to the British Academy in 1996, gave the Academy's Raleigh Lecture on British History in 2001, and delivered the University of Oxford's Ford Lectures in 2004. He has published extensively on Anglo-Saxon history and on the social and political history of high medieval England. His most recent book, on the origins of the English parliament, was described by one reviewer as 'one of the masterpieces of historical writing of our time'. He lives in Oxford.
This is a study of an Oxford college during its formative centuries which traces the history of Exeter College, from its first endowment by Walter Stapeldon, bishop of Exeter, in 1314 until the College's refoundation by Sir William Petre in the 1560s.
