Synopsis
Excerpt from Walter Evelyn, or the Long Minority, Vol. 1 of 3
How do you do, my Public? We have not met for some time. Fatter, eh, my Public? Looking well, too. Manchester pretty quiet? So, that's right! Farmers not so well, eh? Dissatisfied because they have not got Lord Derby now? I do not see that it is any business of yours, my Public, how I came by this manuscript, but I will tell you, too, if you like.

Walter Evelyn, or the Long Minority, Vol. 1 of 3 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an unvarnished and scathing account of a child's experience of English boarding school life in the early 19th century. Beginning with the author's earliest memories of his father's lavish and reckless lifestyle, this autobiography discusses his family's decline and his subsequent life in school after his father ended up in prison. Describing the harsh conditions, abuse of power, and lack of care from a self-serving headmistress, the author builds a picture of the brutal reality of an English boarding school education at a time when such institutions made no effort to nurture the emotional or physical well-being of their young charges. The author's poignant and often humorous stories about his school days are interspersed with historical and social insights which add depth to his narrative, making this a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of education and childhood. This book reveals, with startling clarity, the damage done to the young by a system that valued appearances over well-being. It remains a powerful and cautionary tale that will shock and provoke readers in equal measure. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
