"Cambridge" by M. A. R. Tuker is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the rich history of the University of Cambridge, from its origins to its development as a significant institution of learning. The author takes a particular interest in the evolution of the collegiate system and the impact that various figures and events had on its growth. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the early educational landscape of England, focusing on the rise of learning centers like York and the development of Cambridge as a university town. It notes the influence of notable figures like Bede and Alcuin, as well as the role of the river and the town in shaping Cambridge's history. Tuker emphasizes the importance of religious and scholastic institutions in the area, and outlines how the melding of these elements contributed to the establishment of Cambridge as a place of higher education. The narrative highlights the complexities of its early formation and the challenges faced in the transition from surviving as a mere collection of scholars to the formal university system recognized today.
