Summary: "Cambridge and Its Story" by Charles William Stubbs is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the rich and varied history of Cambridge, its university, and its significance as a center of learning and trade throughout the ages. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for understanding Cambridge's legendary origins, along with its development from a trading post into one of the world's most esteemed educational institutions. At the start of the book, Stubbs provides an overview of the fabled beginnings of Cambridge as recounted by poets and chroniclers, including John Lydgate and Spenser, who attributed its founding to legendary figures like a Spanish prince and ancient philosophers. He highlights how these myths blend with the geographical and commercial importance of the site, placing Cambridge as a crucial gateway in East Anglia.
