Max Beerbohm
Oxford in one fatal summer term. A conjuror of dazzling beauty arrives to stay with her grandfather, the head of a college Beerbohm invents but sets in a city he keeps exact, and every undergraduate falls hopelessly in love. The map runs from the colleges of the High to the Sheldonian and Broad Street, then down through Christ Church Meadow to the Isis, where the young men drown themselves during Eights Week. It brings Oxford into the atlas.
