| John Wain's monumental Oxford Trilogy, which spans the life of Oxford local boy and later University don Peter Leonard from the early 1930s to the mid 1950s. Every layer of Oxford as a city and a university appears in these novels, from local farmers in the deep country to dons at High Table in the most prestigious of Oxford colleges; these years also saw the change in Oxford from being a market town and University city to also becoming the home of a giant motor industry at Cowley, a change which is a central theme of the story. |
