Synopsis

The Schoolmaster was originally published at the turn of the 20th century, when the world was a very different place, and yet Benson's strikingly honest words about his chosen profession are, in the main, still relevant today. Benson was born at Wellington College, educated at Eton and Cambridge and spent his life and career at both. He also had a very successful career outside of education; he was a prolific writer, the editor of Queen Victoria's letters, lyricist and prolific diary writer.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

From Wellington to Orwell, Shelley to Cameron the names of distinguished Old Etonians form a rich roll call of British national life. Yet only one man has his name recorded on a commemorative blue plaque on a school building. That man is A C Benson. --Tony Little, Head Master, Eton College

..please, can we have this man as the Minister for Education, and can we have him now. --Jonathan Smith, author of The Following Game
