A new and innovative series offering in-depth cultural, historical and literary
guides to the great cities of the world. More than ordinary guidebooks, they
introduce the visitor or armchair traveller to each city's unique present-day
identity and its links with the past.Following in the footsteps of historic
figures and writers, David Horan reveals the many dimensions, social and
cultural, of a city where tradition and modernity interconnect. From the
quadrangles and chapels of the university center to the multicultural bustle of
the Cowley Road, he explores both the historic and contemporary faces of Oxford.
