Summary

"One of the most visually striking of Oxford colleges, Keble is rooted in an exceptionally dynamic period of the University's history. The rise of the Oxford Movement in the 19th century took place in a context of challenge and discovery, in which religious, social and political issues were vigorously addressed by outstanding individuals." "This book draws not only on College archives and unpublished sources but also on accounts from Keble members of every generation, living and past, offering a vivid sense of collegial daily life over 140 years. Through this book, older members of the College will rediscover and revisit familiar ground, but with many surprises, while contemporary readers will discover a spirit and tradition still very much alive today, and one which continues to drive the College in the new century."--BOOK JACKET.
