DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A surprising number of classic English authors wrote school stories, from Mary Shelley and Maria Edgeworth through Evelyn Waugh and Stephen Spender. Coverage spans two centuries of fiction set in the endowed private schools called Public Schools in England. Famous works such as Tom Brown's Schooldays by Hughes and Stalky & Co. by Kipling are described, along with books of accomplished but lesser-known writers such as Charles Turley, Eden Phillpotts, Talbot Baines Reed, and Desmond Coke. In addition to their pure entertainment value, these novels preserve a wealth of cultural information: class attitudes, sexual development, sports history, consciousness of Empire, role of the Established Church, study of the Classics. Biographical sketches are provided for most of the authors.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Chronicles of Dawnhope The educational world is seething with new ideas - a new psychology, new theories of discipline, new methods of teaching, new subjects to be taught, new forms of expres sion. Everywhere they find a few fanatical supporters and a few fanatical opponents. Most people (headmasters included) are sometimes attracted by them, sometimes amused, and sometimes repelled. Time will sift them; whatever is valuable in them will remain and grow old, whatever is futile will be forgotten on the scrap heap. Mean while they are new ideas, and, as such, they are fair game. If they cannot stand the test of laughter they will not stand the test of time. And if we are never to laugh at new ideas, because a few people insist on treating them as new religions and a few others cannot distinguish between fun and fact, we shall become a nation of megalo maniacs, like the Germans before the War.

Art and Its Discontents

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Although interest in the painter, poet, and art writer Adrian Stokes (1902&–1972) has been growing in recent years, Art and Its Discontents is the first biographical study of this pivotal figure in British modernism. Focused on Stokes's formative years, the book offers important new insights into his intellectual development, his growing commitment to the arts, and his eventual turn to the art criticism that would win him international renown. Even as Richard Read follows Stokes from his London childhood to his travels in Italy and his psychoanalysis with Melanie Klein, he weaves Stokes's experiences and writings into the great social and cultural issues of his era. Stokes's friendship with Ezra Pound is given its due, but Read balances his exploration of Stokes's modernist ideas with detailed discussion of his profound debt to the teachings of John Ruskin and Walter Pater. Seen in this broad perspective, Stokes emerges as a thinker who bridged Victorian and modernist cultures and renewed the British tradition of aesthetic criticism.
