Throughout its history, the University of Cambridge has featured heavily in cultural works. Here below are some notable examples. ==Literature==
* In ''The Reeve's Tale'' from ''The Canterbury Tales'' by Geoffrey Chaucer, the two main characters are students at Soler Halle. It is believed that this refers to King's Hall, which is now part of Trinity College. * In ''Portraits of Places'' (1883 travel book), Henry James describes the college backs as "the loveliest confusion of gothic windows and ancient trees, of grassy banks and mossy balustrades, of sun‐chequered avenues and groves, of lawns and gardens and terraces, of single arched bridges spanning the little stream, which ... looks as if it had been 'turned on' for ornamental purposes." * In ''Lions and Shadows'' (1938 autobiography), Christopher Isherwood writes extensively about his time at the university. * In ''The Facts of Life'' (1939 short story) by W. Somerset Maugham, the main character Nicky attends Peterhouse due to its reputation in Lawn Tennis. * Jill Paton Walsh is the author of four detective stories featuring Imogen Quy, the nurse at St. Agatha's, a fictional Cambridge college: ''The Wyndham Case'' (1993), ''A Piece of Justice'' (1995), ''Debts of Dishonour'' (2006) and ''The Bad Quarto'' (2007).
