Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford: Its Buildings and Gardens The making of a garden necessitates the work of a gardener, but the gardener's work would avail little without the help of those humble, often - forgotten but most valuable assistants - earthworms. A book such as is now offered to the reader could never have been written but for the patient drudgery of those who do for history what earthworms do for a garden - bookworms. The author, therefore, desires to acknowledge that he would have been helpless but for the work of those who in the past and in the present have devoted much labour to grubbing amongst the dry and dusty archives of the Colleges and the University of Oxford, such as Anthony Wood of Merton College, Hearne of St. Edmund's Hall, the Oxford Historical Society, the authors of the Histories of Oxford Colleges, and especially Mr. Hastings Rashdall of New College. The result of an earthworm's labour is not pleasing to the eye until it has been clothed by gardeners with life and colour. The valuable matter brought to the surface by bookworms is sometimes dull until other writers with a wider horizon have brightened it with the flowers of insight and imagination.

Download or read book Oxford College Gardens written by Tim Richardson and published by White Lion Publishing. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bijou corners of Corpus Christi to the wide open lawns of Trinity, Oxford's gardens are full of surprises and hidden corners - not least the fellows' or masters' gardens, which are usually kept resolutely private. Take a tour of the stunning gardens of this prestigious British institution without leaving your armchair with this elegant, authoritative analysis full of glorious photographs which reveal their full interest and charm. The gardens of Oxford's thirty or so colleges are surprisingly varied in style, age and size, ranging from the ancient mound in the middle of New College to the fine modernist design which is St Catherine's. The eighteenth-century landscape school is represented in the magnificent acreage of Worcester, while the twentieth-century vogue for rock gardening is reflected at St John's. Founded in 1621, the university's Botanic Garden is the oldest botanic garden in Britain, holds one of the most diverse plant collections in the world, and has been a source of inspiration for writers from Lewis Carroll to Philip Pullman.

Download or read book A Glorious and Terrible Life with You written by Northrop Frye and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Northrop Frye's status as one of the most influential critics and intellectuals of the twentieth century makes it difficult to gauge the personal qualities of the man behind the work. However, an intimate picture is revealed through the correspondence Frye exchanged with his first wife, Helen Kemp, and which he bequeathed to Victoria College at the time of his death. In A Glorious and Terrible Life with You, Margaret Burgess presents the essential narrative at the heart of the correspondence, focusing on the thoughts, feelings, and formative experiences of the two central protagonists as they chronicle both their own intertwined voyages of growth and discovery and the central events of their time. Bringing to life their interactions with families and friends, their educational milieu, and the significant cultural and historical currents of the 1930s, these letters show both Frye and Kemp engaging with and contributing to the unique cultural climate of the period. Rich and compelling, they exemplify the wonderful eloquence and vitality of spirit that is evident throughout all of the correspondence. A Glorious and Terrible Life with You is a touching and highly revealing account of the relationship between two kindred spirits and remarkable minds. Lavishly illustrated, this new edition includes family photographs and original graphics by both Helen Kemp and her father, S.H.F. Kemp, mostly dating from his own student days at the University of Toronto.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gardens take many forms, and have a variety of functions. They can serve as spaces of peace and tranquilty, a way to cultivate wildlife, or as places to develop agricultural resources. Globally, gardens have inspired, comforted, and sustained people from all walks of life, and since the Garden of Eden many iconic gardens have inspired great artists, poets, musicians, and writers. In this Very Short Introduction, Gordon Campbell embraces gardens in all their splendour, from parks, and fruit and vegetable gardens to ornamental gardens, and takes the reader on a globe-trotting historical journey through iconic and cultural signposts of gardens from different regions and traditions. Ranging from the gardens of ancient Persia to modern day allotments, he concludes by looking to the future of the garden in the age of global warming, and the adaptive spirit of human innovation. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
