Two Letters of William Laud
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 March 2011
Extract
So little is known of William Laud's life at Oxford that the following letters assume some importance. They were written during his term as President of St. John's College and have recently come to light amongst the Court papers of the Worshipful Company of Carpenters. Laud here pleads on behalf of a poor student, and the pleader's rôle seems surprisingly to become him.
