Synopsis
In 2005 Christs college Cambridge is celebrating its quincentenary. It was founded by the mother of a King. Its alumni include two of the intellectual giants of the West, Milton and Darwin. And it has been immortally caricatured in one of the most famous university novels of the twentieth century, The Masters by C.P. Snow. In recent years it has also nurtured a succession of outstanding historians, many of them pupils or protgs of Sir John Plumb. These chapters have been written by some of those historians. Their distinctive snapshots of Christs at different moments in time also reveal something of the rich variety of historical writing today. The list of contributors includes Simon Schama, David Cannadine, Roy Porter and Linda Colley.
