7 A bewilderment of tradition is perhaps an inevitable consequence of a place so deeply steeped in history.Few provincial cities anywhere are more crowded with incident and achievement.In a short stroll you can pass the house where Edmund Halley discovered his comet; the site of Britain's oldest public museum,the Ashmolean; the hall where architect Christopher Wren drew his first plans; the pub where J.R.R.Tolkien scribbled notes for the Hobbit trilogy (it stands opposite the pub where Thomas Hardy made similar preparations for Jude the Obscure); the track where Roger Bannister ran the first sub-four-minute mile; the meadow where a promising young mathematician named Charles Lutwidge Dodgson refined The Formulae of Plane Trigonometry,An Elementary Treatise on Determinants and—oh yes—a children's trifle called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
8 Walk down the broad and curving High Street,thought by many to be the most beautiful in England,or through the maze of back lanes that wander among the golden,age-worn college buildings,and you follow in the footsteps of Samuel Johnson,Adam Smith,Edward Gibbon,Jonathan Swift,John Donne,Roger Bacon,Cardinal Wolsey,Oscar Wilde,Graham Greene,Evelyn Waugh,T.S.Eliot,C.S.Lewis,Percy Bysshe Shelley,Indira Gandhi,Margaret Thatcher,and Bill Clinton,to name just a few who have worked and studied here.
