Step back in time with “Sketches from Cambridge by a Don,” a witty and insightful exploration of 19th-century Cambridge University student life. Originally published anonymously in 1865 and reprinted from the Pall Mall Gazette, this collection offers a hilariously sarcastic yet affectionate portrayal of academic stereotypes. Discover caricatures of ambitious athletes, dedicated mathematicians, profound philosophers, and the earnest social scientists, all penned by Leslie Stephen, a former Cambridge student himself. The book humorously dissects the customs, vices, and unique character of the Cambridge undergraduate, humorously distinguishing them from their counterparts at Oxford. If you enjoy historical social commentary and charmingly satirical observations of university culture, this “Cambridge Library Collection” edition is a must-read.
