Summary "The Oxford Circus: A Novel of Oxford and Youth" by Hamish Miles and Raymond Mortimer is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This literary work follows the life of its protagonist, Gaveston ffoulis, as he enters the prestigious realm of Oxford University, depicting the interplay between youthful aspirations, culture, and the social dynamics characteristic of student life. The narrative not only explores Gaveston's experiences at the university, but also hints at deeper themes relating to class and identity. The opening of the novel introduces us to Gaveston as he arrives at Oxford, establishing his immediate sense of superiority and artistic flair, underscored by his decision to insist on taking a hansom cab instead of a taxi. The chapter sets the stage for his arrival with a mix of excitement and nostalgia, where he reflects on past memories of family, particularly of his mother, while experiencing the allure of Oxford's culture. As Gaveston reunites with his friend David Paunceford and describes his ambitions and visions for his time at the university, readers gain a glimpse into his vibrant character and the dynamics of friendship, which are set to play a crucial role in his journey.
