Items related to The Silent Traveller in Oxford (Lost and Found Series)
Looking at the city and its historic university with the curiosity and oppenness of a complete stranger. Yee paints a revealing picture of Oxford's particular atmosphere, its rituals and traditions. He mixes with undergraduates and dons, visits pubs and restaurants, witnesses Union debates and punting on the river, all with a gentle astonishment and perceptive eye for detail. First published in 1944, The Silent Traveller in Oxford evokes a wartime city of shortages and blackouts. It also captures an earlier age of university life, when students drank sherry and scaled college walls to escape prowling Bulldogs. Illustrated with the author's own sketches, engravings, and calligraphy, this book is both an atmospheric account of 1940s Oxford and a fascinating "Oriental" view of one of Britain's best-loved cities.
