About the author
Born in 1831, George Charles Brodrick was an English historian, author, and academic who became Warden of Merton College, Oxford. He was educated at Eton and Balliol College, Oxford, and was elected a fellow of Merton early in his career.
Brodrick is best remembered for writing A History of the University of Oxford, along with other historical and political works. His writing helped bring Oxford's past to a wider readership, and his long service in the university made him an important figure in late 19th-century academic life.
He died in 1903. Although not as widely known today as some Victorian scholars, he remains of interest for readers drawn to Oxford history, institutional biography, and clear-minded historical writing.
