Review
"The story of Trinity, well told in this book by many different voices, teaches us something modern Britain tends to ignore, which is that we have - or had - a genius for institutions." Charles Moore, The Telegraph.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Like Jane Austen's Emma, Trinity has been described quite simply as 'rich, handsome and clever'. Though devoted more to the pursuit of learning than of love, Trinity has inspired enduring affection in generations of alumni and Fellows. Now in its fifth century since being refounded by Henry VIII, the College reigns supreme as the largest and wealthiest of the Cambridge colleges. Plenty has been written about the genesis of the College, its many distinguished alumni and even its finances. However, in the seven decades since the Second World War, generations of Trinity students have witnessed profound changes at an unprecedented pace. Today, Trinity is a vital contributor to the modern, research-based University of Cambridge, at the same time remaining a scholarly community, a family in which the social and academic are indivisible Trinity: A Portrait is not a history so much as a thematic exploration of both the individual's experience of the College and the College's development in the university, national and global arenas. 'Ed Stourton and his colleagues have assembled a wonderful book - a combination of text and pictures guaranteed to inform and amuse anyone with a Trinity connection.' Professor Lord Rees of Ludlow, OM PRS, Master Edited by Edward Stourton. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005606433

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. New oversized hardcover in a new dust jacket. Pages are clean and free of marks or underlining. (10 x 1 x 11.75 inches) Includes an index, high-quality photos, a CD, and illustrations. 272 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. Now in its fifth century since re-foundation by Henry VIII, Trinity reigns supreme as the largest and wealthiest of the Cambridge colleges. But this position is, in fact, a relatively new one, and in the seven decades since the Second World War, generations of Trinity students have witnessed profound changes at a pace unprecedented in history. Trimity: A Portrait is both an exploration of the College's historical past and powerful intellectual traditions, but also a celebration of these decades of change. In this highly illustrated and wide-ranging volume the editors have brought impressive Trinity expertise to bear in summarizing Trinity's achievements in science, mathematics and the humanities, but also to illuminate the beauties of its architecture and estate. Cross-cut with these are lively portraits of the College community - from the eccentricities of dons to the loyal service of College staff, from Byron and his bear to the highly illegal exploits of night climbers, from notable sporting figures to music and drama. Those searching for famous names of the past will find plenty: Bacon, Newton, Byron, Melbourne, Macaulay, Tennyson are all present; Earl Grey steered the 1832 Reform Bill through Parliament, and had an aromatic tea named after him; the Earl of Sandwich also left a culinary legacy - and there are many more besides. But equally there are vivid first-hand memories of daily lives in post-war austerity 1940s and 1950s, in the fast-changing 1960s, the politicized 1970s, under the impact of coeducation in the 1980s and on into the 21st century. And it is in the 21st century that Trinity has led the way in helping the University to engage vigorously with the world of technology through its Science Park venture. Beautifully designed and produced, and packed full of fascinating information, Trinity: A Portrait will be treasured by Trinity alumni past and present, as well as offering a dazzling introduction to those new generations yet to pass through the Great Gate. A complimentary CD of Trinity's famous choir, recorded in the College Chapel, is included with the book. Seller Inventory # 202371
