  In this book a young American student relates her experiences at Oxford in this study of one world's most respected seats of learning. The author went to Oxford University as a Marshall Scholar studying international relations after a degree at Harvard. What she found there fascinated and horrified her, and in this book she casts a sceptical eye over many of the antics of the university, including its anachronistic attitude to women, its quiet bolstering of class prejudice and its unusual approach to learning.
