"This lively and authoritative account of Oxford's historic background describes the origins of the prosperous medieval town and of its university and colleges. David Sturdy draws on a lifetime's knowledge of Oxford, its archaeology, architecture and archives, to examine the many myths and legends that have sprung up there. Using medieval documents, he restores the "Ox-ford" to its authentic site west of the town and explains that the notion that it lay to the south, along St Aldate's Street, is a modern misconception."
