Publisher's Synopsis
Despite being one of the newer Oxford colleges, Keble is nevertheless rooted in one of the most dynamic periods of the University. The rise of the Oxford Movement in the mid-19th century coincided with the peak of High Victorian confidence, in which social and political issues were vigorously addressed by outstanding individuals. Keble - Past and Present is intended as a portrait of the College and its life that will speak to Keble men and women. Much more than a history, it is a richly illustrated documentary that tells Keble alumni a great deal that they don't know, as well as reminding them of their own experiences as undergraduates. Through this volume, older members will rediscover familiar ground, with a few surprises, while contemporary members will discover a spirit and tradition still very much alive today.
