Be it praise or colourful invective, everyone, it seems, has something to say about the city and this slender volume - filled with wise, witty, and sometimes scandalous quotes - presents the full range of impressions it has made.\u003cbr\u003eOxford, 'City of Dreaming Spires,' earns high marks from Hillaire Belloc, who writes that 'there are few greater temptations on earth than to stay permanently at Oxford . . . and to read all the books in the Bodleian.' But it is also, according to Anthony Trollope, 'the most dangerous place to which a young man can be sent.' And none other than Max Beerbohm blames it for making him insufferable.\u003cbr\u003eFor fans, foes, and those planning a trip to the city in the hopes of forming an opinion, this collection will be welcomed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46857117958302,"sku":"ADS-9781851244003","price":9.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781851244003.jpg?v=1779155036","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781851244003","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
