The College Graces of Oxford and Cambridge by Reginald H Adams
From an exploration of the twelfth-century monastic origins of the texts to the creation of two-word graces in the nineteenth century and new texts for the modern age, this meticulous collection reveals how the tradition of the Latin grace has survived and evolved over the centuries and offers a rare glimpse inside the private halls of Oxbridge.
‘Engaging, nostalgic for some, and unexpectedly inspiring… It is an inheritance in itself worth a thanksgiving, and this volume does it full justice’ -- The Revd Dr Teresa Morgan * Church Times *
Reginald H. Adams was a member of St John’s College, Oxford.
