Spanning the years 1822 to 1952, the work details the college's academic evolution, its notable scholars and masters, the shifting currents of university reform, and the broader social and political forces that shaped one of Cambridge's oldest foundations — from the upheavals of the Victorian era through two world wars to the dawn of the modern academy.\n\nBury writes with the precision of a scholar and the warmth of an insider, weaving together archival research and institutional memory into a narrative that illuminates not just a college, but the very character of British higher education. This authoritative history presents Corpus Christi as a microcosm of England itself — a place where tradition and progress have always existed in productive tension — and leaves the reader wondering how the century that followed would test those foundations anew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609712759003,"sku":"2026100010724-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8e9a3978-48b8-4d59-ac6e-4eb9e8c7bf17.png?v=1791764779","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010724-secondhand-corpus-christi-college-cambridge-a-history-1822-to-1952","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
