Its rival, Cambridge, was long dominated by mathematics, while Oxford's leading study was Classics. In this pioneering book, sixteen leading authorities, from Oxford itself and elsewhere, explore a variety of aspects of Oxford Classics in the last two hundred years: curriculum, teaching and learning, scholarly style, publishing, gender and social exclusion and the impact of German scholarship.
