But it is also, according to Anthony Trollope, 'the most dangerous place to which a young man can be sent.' And none other than Max Beerbohm blames it for making him insufferable.\u003cbr\u003eFor fans, foes, and those planning a trip to the city in the hopes of forming an opinion, this collection will be welcomed.","brand":"Smartfox Books","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":41506935734405,"sku":"PR11351","price":21.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0213\/3637\/files\/image_ST897A0PVTJD.jpg?v=1769648373","url":"https:\/\/smartfoxbooks.com.au\/products\/oxford-in-quotations","provider":"Smartfox Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
