Publisher Description This compact gift book is packed full of witty, scandalous and entertaining quotations about this famous city from the Middle Ages to the current decade.Oxford is one of the world's great cities - a source of inspiration to generations of poets, novelists, journalists, and commentators who have visited or called it home. Be it praise or colourful invective, everyone, it seems, has something to say about the city and this slender volume - filled with wise, witty, and sometimes scandalous quotes - presents the full range of impressions it has made. Oxford, 'City of Dreaming Spires,' earns high marks from Hillaire Belloc, who writes that 'there are few greater temptations on earth than to stay permanently at Oxford . . . and to read all the books in the Bodleian.' But it is also, according to Anthony Trollope, 'the most dangerous place to which a young man can be sent.' And none other than Max Beerbohm blames it for making him insufferable. For fans, foes, and those planning a trip to the city in the hopes of forming an opinion, this collection will be welcomed. Author Biography Violet Moller is a freelance writer and researcher with a PhD in early modern libraries and knowledge. She is the co-author of The Curious World of Dickens.
