Brodrick is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work aims to succinctly document the evolution of the University of Oxford, highlighting its origins, challenges, and significant developments over centuries. The narrative promises to explore the various phases of the institution's history, including its interactions with authority, societal dynamics, and its role in education." The opening of the book presents a preface where the author outlines the challenges of chronicling the history of such an ancient institution. He discusses the difficulties faced by previous historians, such as the lack of organized records and sources, the sometimes obscure historical significance of various figures, and the intricate relationship between the University and outside forces, including the Church and local city governance. Brodrick emphasizes his intent to focus on well-established facts while acknowledging gaps in knowledge about early origins, leading the reader into a deeper exploration of Oxford's rise as a significant center of learning that attracted students from across Europe and contributed notably to the academic culture of the period.
