What is Early Victorian Cambridge (Cambridge Library Collection - Cambridge) about?

Denys Arthur Winstanley (1877-1947), was a Fellow of Trinity College from 1906 until his death. His work included four important books on the history of the University of Cambridge between 1750 and 1882. This volume describes the many reforms to the educational system made during the early Victorian period: changes in college and university statutes, reform of the examinations, the foundation of Downing College and of Regius Professorships. Adopting an episodic rather than chronological approach, he is able to tease out specific controversies of the period such as a contested change of Mastership in Trinity, or the struggle for power in the Fitzwilliam Museum Syndicate. The extensive historical research in this book means that it holds its value today as a reliable source of information for historians of education in the early nineteenth century. Book Description The first historian to gain access to the papers of Prince Albert as Chancellor of the University as well as contemporary correspondence and diaries, Winstanley provides an admirably detailed portrait of the workings of the university between 1800 and 1860.
