Synopsis

This book details the events surrounding James II's attempt to impose a Roman Catholic president on the fellows of Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1687. The author provides a thorough account of the legal and historical context of the case, as well as the arguments made by both sides. The book also explores the wider implications of the case for the relationship between the Crown and the universities, and for the future of religious toleration in England. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced and thought-provoking examination of a key moment in the history of religious and academic freedom in England.
