Dull history,
By A Customer
This review is from: A History of Merton College, Oxford (Hardcover)
The knowledge and learning that Highfield and Martin display in this work is astonishing. Endless facts, figures and details, drawn from a myriad of sources,are crammed into every page. But to what end? There is no sense of why any fact is significant, or how it relates to anything else. There is no attempt to convey any spirit of the ages through which the college has lived, or any sense of the broader movements which shaped and were shaped by the college and its alumni. In short, there is no context. Just a series of facts, strung together into a dull narrative.
