Trinity: A Portrait is not a history so much as a thematic
exploration of both the individual's experience of the College
and the College's development in the university, national and
global arenas.
"The story of Trinity, well told in this book by many different voices, teaches us something modern Britain tends to ignore, which is that we have - or had - a genius for institutions." Charles Moore, The Telegraph.
Edward Stourton is a distinguished broadcaster and presenter. In 1976 he came up to Trinity to read English, and in his final year was president of the Cambridge Union Society.
