484g.English University Life in the Middle Ages is a comprehensive study of the medieval academic community encompassing all sections including nobility, undergraduates, postgraduates, fellows, commoners, monks, and servants. This composite view reveals medieval English university life in all its rich diversity by concentrating on the real lives of individuals.
Chapters on undergraduate and postgraduate experience give a detailed insight into the social and economic conditions of student life. The author surveys the activities of teaching masters and college fellows, analysing the tolerated and prohibited recreations and entertainments of the scholars, and the heavy involvement of the teaching masters in the governmental and administrative processes of the universities. This study also incorporates neglected groupings on the academic periphery such as college founders, benefactors and women.
English University Life in the Middle Ages reveals the development of complex methods of teaching and learning in the period and the range of subjects taught. It also looks at universities in their wider context, examining the co-operation, as well as the violent conflict, which arose between the universities and their towns.
