Description
The Dons: Mentors, Eccentrics and Geniuses
For two centuries, Oxford and Cambridge Universities were home to some of Britain's greatest teachers and intellects. In this engaging book, Noel Annan explores the lives and legacies of these remarkable individuals.
With a mix of analysis and anecdote, Annan brings to life the great minds of the past, including John Henry Newman and Isaiah Berlin. This collection of essays offers a unique insight into the significance of the dons and their role in shaping higher education.
