In 2005 Christ's college Cambridge is celebrating its quincentenary. It was founded by a remarkable woman - the mother of a King. Its alumni include two of the intellectual giants of the West, Milton and Darwin. And it has been immortally caricatured in one of the most famous university novels of the twentieth century, The Masters by C.P. Snow. In recent years it has also nurtured a succession of outstanding historians, many of them pupils or protégés of Sir John Plumb. These chapters have been written by some of those historians - all scholars of distinction, some of them household names. Their distinctive snapshots of Christ's at different moments in time also reveal something of the rich variety of historical writing today - religious and intellectual history, biography, economics and the history of science.

This is the first of a four volume History of the University of Cambridge, under the General Editorship of Professor C.N.L. Brooke, and the first volume on the medieval University as a whole to be published in over a century. It provides a synthesis of the intellectual, social, political, and religious life of the early University, and gives serious attention to the development of classroom studies and how they changed with the coming of the Renaissance and the Reformation. Following the first stirrings of the University in the early thirteenth century, the evolution of the University is traced from the original Corporation of Masters and Scholars through the early development of the colleges. The second half of the book focuses on the century from the 1440s to the 1540s, which saw the flowering of the University under Tudor patronage. In the decades preceding the Reformation many colleges were founded, the teaching structures reorganized, and the curriculum made more humanistic. The place of Cambridge at the forefront of northern European universities was eventually assured when Henry VIII founded Trinity College in 1546, in the face of changes and difficulties experienced during the course of the Reformation.
