Oxbridge on a Shoestring remembered by Sir Geoffrey Jackson
'It wasn't at all the Oxbridge of Lord Peter Wimsey or Bertie Wooster... in the 30s it was an essentially political environment ... I think we were, all of us, extremely conscious of social injustice. Inevitably, one of the university wags had released, immediately behind the advancing punts, a procession of chamber pots, each bobbing along with its own tall candle standing in the middle of it, like a flotilla of illuminated ducks ... '
'I remember... the sound of broken boots, tied together with bits of string, sometimes with the bare soles of the foot showing through...'

In December 1825 Scott was 54 and at the height of his fame. He lived in aristocratic splendour at Abbotsford, the estate he had bought from his vast earnings as a popular novelist. But within weeks of beginning the Journal which was to record the happiness of his old age he suffered the most terrible reversal of fortune. His own account of his tragedy and triumph is one of the most moving of all literary self-portraits.
