Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford Studies The Oxford Historical Society has always recognized that the idea of its formation was due to John Richard Green, himself a native of Oxford and always deeply interested in the place of his birth and education. The prospect of a reproduction of his Oxford during the Last Century, as one of the volumes issued by the Society, has long been held out as an attraction to subscribing members. The opportunity has now happily arrived for carrying this long cherished intention into effect; and it is hoped that the present volume will serve to keep alive his memory as the true creator of the Society, and will also do something to encourage that interest in the past history of Oxford which he himself felt so strongly. The following brief account of the circumstances under which the papers forming the present volume were produced may be given here by way of introduction. In December, 1858, the proprietors of the Oxford Chronicle issued an advertisement headed Oxford during the Last Century, informing the public that it was 'intended under the above title to commence in the Chronicle, on Saturday, Jan. 1, 1859, in a series of papers to appear weekly, an account of some of the most memorable transactions connected with the City and County of Oxford, which have occurred in the course of the Last Century.' The advertisement concluded with an order-form 'To the Proprietors of the Oxford Chronicle, ' which all new subscribers were invited to sign, if they wished to secure a regular series, 'as no surplus copies of the Papers containing these Mementos of Oxford will be printed.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford Studies in Social and Legal History, Vol. 1 The nineteenth century has been called the age of historical study, and the twentieth bids fair to follow its predecessor in this respect. At no previous epoch have men felt more keenly that 'the roots of the present lie deep in the past', and England has had its share in the general movement of European thought in this direction. But, as far as the organization of historical research is concerned, we have still a good deal to learn and to do in England. It is not sufficient that there should every now and then arise exceptionally gifted and equipped leaders, like Grote, Stubbs, Maitland; it is not enough that there should be a widespread interest in history as a branch of literature. We ought to try to co-ordinate research and train researchers; thorough and systematic investigation ought not to be left to chance and to the efforts of self-taught pioneers; the scientific side of history should be brought up to the level of its literary side. How much remains to be done in this respect may be gathered from the fact that there are at present few opportunities for investigators, especially for beginners in research, to publish monographs on their particular subjects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The School of English Language and Literature: A Contribution to the History of Oxford Studies Academic history is a difficult subject, especially recent academic history; yet, since it is part of the history of learning as well as part of the history of institutions, it deserves writing. No part of it repays attention better than the story of the growth of new studies and the gradual introduction of new subjects into the curriculum of our universities. The object of this paper is to trace the introduction of two such subjects into the Oxford curriculum, to inquire into the causes which led to it, and into those which have promoted or retarded their progress since the time when it was first recognized that our own language and literature were proper things for undergraduates to study during their residence in Oxford. To do this it is not enough to start with the foundation of the English School in 1894. It is necessary to go further back and to begin with the time when learned men in the universities began to regard our language and literature as subjects on which it was worth while to spend their life and their labour, and benefactors, either in our own body or without it, began to found chairs and provide endowments for the purpose of encouraging these branches of learning. About 1834 a controversy sprang up in the pages of the Gentleman's Magazine, which began with a discussion of various points of Anglo-Saxon scholarship, and ended with a dispute whether Oxford or Cambridge had contributed most to its progress.

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford Studies in Social and Legal History, Vol. 5 The part played by the great pestilences of the fourteenth century in the economic evolution of England has given rise to much discussion and has been regarded, at one time, as the principal cause of the crisis in the agrarian history of the Middle Ages: it was supposed to have led to the passage from customary services to agreements based on cash nexus. A reaction against this view became more and more manifest in later years: various writers refused to assign to the Black Death such a catastrophic influence, and thought that its action merely accentuated the general features of a protracted evolution. Miss Levett has approached the subject in the light of a minute and exact investigation of the data provided by the ministerial accounts of the see of Winchester, which range over centuries and present an instructive series of entries for the fateful years of the pestilence as well as for those immediately preceding and following them. The verdict based on this study is emphatically in the negative: as far as the Winchester estates represent average conditions, the accounts do not disclose any abrupt change as to tenure or husbandry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford Studies in Social and Legal History, Vol. 2 The two monographs of the present volume bear on the history of English manorial institutions. Mr. Stenton has examined in detail the evidence as to the different types of manorial structure in the Counties of the Northern Danelaw - York, Derby, Nottingham, Lei cester, Lincoln, and Rutland. Domesday book entries form, of course, his principal material, but he has also used for comparison charters of the anglo-danish period, as far as they were available, and has supplied some valuable observations based on his study of early twelfth-century documents. His results enable us to form a more definite View of the contrasts of terminology, of institutional and of economic development between the region colonized by Danes and the South and West of England, which had arrived by the eleventh century to a much more com plete and uniform arrangement of society on feudal lines. In this way the phenomena of the 'growth of the Manor are presented once more in a strong light. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Oxford After the War a Liberal Education Classic Reprint written by John Alexander Stewart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford After the War a Liberal Education I submit that it is under the control of these two propositions, taken singly or together, that all Statutes and Regulations for new courses of study to be introduced at Oxford, with their respective examinations and degrees, and for' the alteration of existing courses, ought to be framed. Some such Statutes and Regulations have already been made, and are being made, by the University in preparation for new con ditions likely, it is thought, to become urgent as soon as Peace comes. It remains to be seen how these particular Statutes and Regula tions will work. I think that the future is still too obscure to warrant preparations which go into detail. I shall therefore content myself with putting forward some general considera tions which, as it seems to me, ought to govern all detail, when the time comes for going into detail - general considerations involving the acceptance of the two propositions which I have placed at the head of this pamphlet. Oxford has hitherto made the imparting of a liberal education her principal concern. Were she to make it less than her principal concern she would break the continuity of her life irreparably, and renounce her claim to a great place in the English-speaking world of the future. As an institution concerned principally with the production of specialists she might hold a respectable place in that world, but certainly would not hold a great place. In order, however, to maintain the continuity of her life in the altered circumstances of the New Age, she must reform her scheme of a liberal education in the sense of assigning a place in it to Natural Science by the side of Humane Letters themselves more broadly conceived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oxford Studies in Social and Legal History, Vol. 4 Mr. Barbour's contribution to the Studies is an attempt to characterize with some precision and detail the functions of the Chancery in the fifteenth century. The court was gradually differentiated from the King's Council, and the writs of Edward III's time calling on persons to appear under penalty of a fine or of imprisonment (subpoena), and other special injunctions, are generally framed in terms which leave it undecided whether proceedings were to be taken by the King's Council, or by the Council under the chairmanship of the Chancellor himself with or without the aid of assessors. By the time of Richard II, however, the personal jurisdiction of the Chancellor had acquired a fairly definite range, and was assuming the aspect of a standing institution. Chancery was not a court of record, but it would be idle to deny that it was none the less a court, in the sense of a tribunal taking cognizance of certain juridical disputes and deciding them by peculiar methods of investigation and procedure.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Sociology and Organization Studies written by Paul S. Adler and published by Oxford Handbooks Online. This book was released on 2009 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organizations are a defining feature of the modern world, and the study of organizations (Organization Studies) has become well established in both sociology departments and professional schools, most notably business and management schools. Organization Studies has long drawn inspiration from foundational work in sociology. The sociological lens affords depth of insight into the technological, economic, cultural, and political forces that shape organizations from both within and without. In particular, "classical" works in sociology have long energized organizational research, primarily by suggesting ways of making sense of the ever-accelerating pace of social change. In recent decades, however, the field has lost interest in these sociology classics. This trend reflects and reinforces an increasingly academic focus of contempory Organization Studies. Not only does this trend weaken Organization Studies' engagement with the big social issues of our time, but it isolates the field from the broader field of the social sciences. The aim of this Handbook is to re-assert the importance of classical sociology to the future of Organization Studies. Alongside several thematic chapters, the volume includes chapters on each of nearly two dozen major European and American theorists, each of these chapter addressing: (a) the ideas and their context, (b) the impact of these ideas on the field of Organization Studies, and (c) the potential future research these ideas might inspire. The goal is not reverential exegesis, but rather to examine how the classics can energize organizational research. This wide-ranging Handbook, with contributions from leading American and European scholars, will be a vital, informative, and stimulating resource for anybody undertaking research in, teaching, or interested in learning more about Organization Studies today. About the Series Oxford Handbooks in Business & Management bring together the world's leading scholars on the subject to discuss current research and the latest thinking in a range of interrelated topics including Strategy, Organizational Behavior, Public Management, International Business, and many others. Containing completely new essays with extensive referencing to further reading and key ideas, the volumes, in hardback or paperback, serve as both a thorough introduction to a topic and a useful desk reference for scholars and advanced students alike.

But there may still be room for a modest volume which, while unscrupulously omitting whatever seems tedious, or of purely local interest, recalls the stories concerning which experience shows the average stranger to be most curious, and answers the questions which the average stranger, when visiting the various colleges, is most apt to ask. The book, indeed, is the outcome of an experience which revealed the nature, and the limits, of that curiosity.
