| Summary: | In this volume, Ian Adamson provides a comprehensive history of the College in the seventeenth century, particularly its contribution to the intellectual, educational and administrative life of London and England. He analyses its relationship with the Tudor and Stuart courts, the Corporation of London, the universities and the Royal Society and assesses the quality and effectiveness of all the professors elected during this period. Finally, he explains the presence in the College of Ben Jonson and Sir Kenelm Digby, why it is likely that Shakespeare was often in attendance and the enduring impact of John Ward’s collective biography of the professors. |
