Beschreibung
Few cities have a greater concentration of significant architecture than Oxford. Within a city of only 130,000 inhabitants there are important buildings, many of them of great beauty, from every period from the eleventh century down to the present. Geoffrey Tyack chronicles the architectural development of Oxford ¿ both University and City ¿ from its origins to the late twentieth century, explaining the idiosyncrasies of Oxford's architectural history, and placingthe buildings within their historical context. Arranged chronologically but with a particular emphasis on what the visitor can actually see, with suggested walks around Oxford and its environs, this book presents a unique guide to one of the country's most beautiful cities.
