Magdalen College School

Autor Laurence Brockliss Introducere de Mark Swift
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 iul 2016
Founded in the grounds of Magdalen College 500 years ago, Magdalen College School has been educating centuries of students. Originally intended to offer free tuition in grammar, it has attracted students from all walks of life and from all around the UK during its history. From a period of initial success, the fortunes of the school have waxed and waned over the centuries until modern times, where it has become one of the premier independent schools in the country. With former pupils including lord chancellors, film directors, Nobel Prize-winning scientists and noted composers, Magdalen College School has a rich and engaging history, which this book brings to life with colour illustrations and photographs.

Recenzii

Laurence Brockliss has been a Fellow and Tutor at Magdelen College School since 1984. His insider knowledge of the environment of the school shines through in this history and it is lavishly illustrated with new and interesting images o the school and groups of pupils through the ages.
This history has been well captured in an efficient and readable way. Pictures of the different designs and key personalities abound, many of them full page. The main readership is likely to be those with an interest in Oxford or directly in the school itself but in many ways this would be a pity as a history of over 530 years provides a good illustration of how education was established in late medieval times and the challenges it faced through different periods subsequently. The book shows how a small publication can convey in an erudite but interesting way (there are plenty of references) the changing face of education.
