Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book comprehensively explores the genesis, characters, and incidents behind Thomas Hughes’ influential novel, Tom Brown’s School Days, first published in 1857. It draws on the author’s extensive research consisting of interviews with surviving contemporaries of Hughes and an exhaustive investigation into Rugby School archives from the period. While the fictional aspects of the novel are acknowledged, particularly concerning the amalgamation of boys’ traits into single characters, the author presents a compelling case for the historical origins of many of the main characters and incidents in the story. The book also sets the novel firmly in the context of Dr. Arnold’s tenure as Headmaster of Rugby School, as well as within the broader Victorian context of Muscular Christianity. The author concludes that the novel’s insights into the social and educational landscape of Victorian public schools continue to resonate with readers to this day, as they offer a poignant glimpse into an era when the prevailing ethos prioritized the development of character, Christian values, and physical prowess. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
