Book excerpt: The University of Oxford saw far-reaching intellectual and institutional changes in the course of the nineteenth century. In 1800 it was still an Anglican institution in an Anglican state, one of its foremost duties being the maintenance of the principles of the Church of England. Before theend of the century, its transformation to an undenominational `free-thinking' institution was almost complete. Volume VI of the magisterial History of the University explores the major developments of the period.
