Form Edward Burne-Jones wrote “Oxford is a glorious place; godlike! at night I have walked
around the college under the full moon, and thought it would be heaven to live and die here.” Jane
Austen wrote “I never was but once in Oxford in my life and I am sure I never wish to go there
again.” As with most great cities, people either love it or hate it. Horan, a writer living in Oxford,
obviously loves the city or is at least very taken by its quixotic stories. Oxford is full of anecdotes
and oddities. Moran explains, for instance, why Great Tom is rung 101 times every night at 9:05, tells
us that if we want to visit St. Giles’ Fair we need to mark our calendars for “the first Monday and
Tuesday after the first Sunday after St. Giles’ Day” and spares prospective visitors the
embarrassment of mispronouncing Magdalen College (its Mawd-lin). Hundreds of lives of those
deceased after 2000 have been added, including, as at Oct. 2006, 202 lives of those who died in

coverage of the dictionary by another year of decease. 9780199536597 (10-digit ISBN: 0199536597)

One of these has since been adapted for TV. He will be best remembered as a poet, playwright, and
novelist but during his time at Oxford, Wilde was also an active member of the Free Masons and
loved the secrecy it evoked. He was individualistic in his approach to everyday life, wanting to
stand out so wore his hair long and decorated his room in colourful peacock feathers, and flowers,
while shying away from manly sports. One of the famous Inklings, a literary discussion group who
encouraged fantasy writing, and author of the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, Tolkien was once
named as one the greatest British writers of his time by The Times. I am pleased to report that Oxford

Oxford, not leaving out its factories and non-university life. He provides brief biographies on some
of the many, many Oxford luminaries, quickly making it apparent that Oxford history is British
history. Lest anyone think that Oxford is staid and living in its glorious past, Horan reminds readers
that Oxford is dynamic and always able to incorporate its past with its future. An example is a
twenty-five foot fiberglass shark that pokes through the slate roof of a suburban house, its head
apparently in the attic. To access the Oxford English Dictionary you will need your library number
