The volume combines three chapters from the fictionalised autobiography of Luisa Hewitt with explanatory material highlighting the role Modern Languages played in the formative last decades of the 19th century, before women were formally admitted to study at Oxford. Luisa Hewitt was the only daughter of the German librarian Heinrich Krebs, born and raised in the librarian's basement flat at the Taylor Institution Library, the Modern Languages Library of the University of Oxford. The memoirs were finished in 1931 and cover the years 1885 to 1897.
