Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes on the Characters and Incidents Depicted by the Master Hand of Tom Hughes in Tom Brown´s Schooldays, Together With Some Supplementary Information as to Rugby School in the Days of Its Ever Famous Headmaster, Thomas Arnold, 1828-1842 In 1907 my old schoolfellow, Mr. L. J. Maton, and I had the good fortune to travel from Euston to Rugby for Speech Day, in the same carriage as Mr. W. S. Seton Karr. The company of such a distinguished pupil of Dr. Arnold gave us an opportunity not to be wasted of learning about Rugby in those great days, and before long "Tom Brown´s Schooldays" naturally became the topic of conversation, Mr. Maton and I, mere juveniles of sixty or thereabouts, listening with the deepest interest while Mr. Seton Karr gave us his impressions as to the originals in the book, together with some valuable information as to the Rugby of Arnold´s time. Inter alia he mentioned that every one of the principal incidents described by Tom Hughes was founded on fact. As the train approached Rugby Mr. Maton said to me, "What we have heard to-day ought to be preserved for the benefit of all Rugbeians." In those days I could not spare the time to take the matter up, but now that I am a man of leisure it has been a pleasure to me to do so, and for some months past I have been engaged in investigations as to (1) The originals of the characters described in "Tom Brown´s Schooldays"; (2) The incidents on which the action of the book depends. The results of these investigations, to which I have added a few miscellaneous notes regarding the Rugby of those days, are embodied in the following pages.
