Description

Oxford is a photo-documentary book that captures the day-to-day life of this iconic university. Around 100 photographs by Martin Parr document an academic year, revealing the colourful and arcane rituals that make Oxford so distinctive. The photographs are accompanied by an extended essay written by Simon Winchester, which enriches the photographic material and provides new insights into the subject. This book pays tribute to William Henry Fox Talbot, the pioneer of photography, and coincides with the Bodleian Library's bid to secure Parr's personal archive. By combining Parr's photographs with Winchester's essay, Oxford offers a unique perspective on this historic institution.
