Description
Oxford: The Last Hurrah by Dafydd Jones is a unique and intimate portrait of Oxford University in the 1980s. This book presents a world that has been written about and dramatized, yet never photographed. The photographs capture the essence of a bygone era, when Oxford was synonymous with wealth, power, and privilege. The images show a generation of young people who would go on to shape the establishment, but in these photographs, their youth and vulnerability are undeniable. From the architectural marvels of the colleges to the misty mornings along the river, this book is a celebration of English eccentricity and a poke of affectionate fun at its subjects. Dafydd Jones's photographs offer a raw and honest glimpse into a world that was in transition, marked by the rise of Thatcher and the 'Return of the Bright Young Things'. This is a book that will appeal to anyone interested in photography, Oxford University, and the cultural landscape of the 1980s.
