Publisher Description This book traces the history of Exeter College, Oxford, from its first endowment by Walter Stapeldon, bishop of Exeter, in 1314 until the Colleges refoundation by Sir William Petre in the 1560s and the election of the zealously protestant Thomas Holland as head of the College in 1592, which brought Exeters reputation as a fiercely catholic college to a definitive end. It is closely based on the sources, particularly the Colleges unpublished account rolls, and deals in detail with all aspects of College life during the period: the origins and careers of the fellows; books, studies and intellectual life; possessions and finances; the College site; the daily round, as reflected in the entertainment of visitors, relations with old members, the travels of the fellows, and the services held in the chapel; and the rise of the Colleges undergraduate population. The effects of the Reformation on the College are given particularly full treatment, and here, as at all points, the history of the College is related to the general history of the period, so that, for example, the effects of the Black Death and of the economic depression of the fifteenth century are seen in microcosm through the Colleges history. The richness of the sources has allowed Exeters story to be told with a fullness not attempted in other comparable college histories and at the same time to be seen as part of the wider history of England. Author Biography John Maddicott was born at Exeter in Devonshire and comes from a Devon farming background similar to that of the founder of the College whose history he sets out in this book. He read History at Worcester College, Oxford, and was Fellow and tutor in medieval history at Exeter College from 1969 to 2006. He was elected to the British Academy in 1996, gave the Academys Raleigh Lecture on British History in 2001, and delivered the University of Oxfords Ford Lectures in 2004. He has published extensively on Anglo-Saxon history and on the social and political history of high medieval England. His most recent book, on the origins of the English parliament, was described by one reviewer as one of the masterpieces of historical writing of our time. He lives in Oxford.
