Universities beyond the lecture hall

Alan Cobban assembles a broad account of medieval English university life, connecting the experiences of students and teaching staff with those of benefactors, women and university servants. The book’s two-part scope moves from the social and economic circumstances surrounding university communities to the practices of teaching and learning, including study regimes and the relationship between Oxford and Cambridge. Its attention to relations between university and town also places academic life within the wider communities where it took shape. The result is a historical overview that treats the medieval university as both an educational institution and a social world.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the social history of medieval England.
  • Those studying the history of universities, Oxford or Cambridge.
  • Readers seeking historical perspectives on teaching and learning.
