Perversion, or the Causes and Consequences of Infidelity, Vol. 1 of 3: A Tale for the Times (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A young boy’s move to a strict boarding school sets off a web of social ambition, religious controversy, and personal crisis in a Victorian-era tale of growing up and temptation.
The novel follows Charles Bampton as he leaves his Cornwall home for Lyngford School, stepping into a world where wealth, status, and belief compete for influence. Through intimate family letters, small-town politics, and the antics of cadet life, the story probes how pride, loyalty, and faith shape a young life—and the adults who guide—or misguide—it.
Against a backdrop of strict discipline and perilous social games, characters maneuver between affection, ambition, and moral testing. The narrative blends domestic detail with broader reflections on religion, education, and the pressures of fitting into a rigid society.
- Meet a headmaster with strong views on Protestantism and a knack for shaping young minds.
- Watch a family navigate parting moments, future plans, and the pull of tradition.
- Explore how friendships and rivalries in a military-tinged setting influence character and choices.
- Follow moral debates and personal fears that accompany growing up in a changing world.
Ideal for readers who enjoy classic Victorian fiction, social commentary, and coming‑of‑age stories set against a vividly drawn historical backdrop.
