GODLINESS AND GOOD LEARNING: FOUR STUDIES ON A VICTORIAN IDEAL
by D. Newsome
Published by John Murray. 1st. 1961
Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. "Rootless, godless, ignorant and lost," the adjectives used by an eminent scholar to describe the rising generation of our times, could never be applied to the generation that grew into manhood at the time of the Great Exhibition of 1851. For this was an age of dedicated lives, of men who were proud of the past and confident of the future, of a ruling class which was both purposeful and devout. Includes two biographical studies, one of an idealist Victorian headmaster and one representing the exemplar of the ideal, a Winchester schoolboy. Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations. xii and 291 pages including index.
Light rubbing and minor discolouration to top & tail of spine. Text block browned with some foxing. Inscription in ink to front endpaper. Endpapers browned. A few scattered foxspots. Purple patterned dustwrapper is edge-worn with a few small tears and chips.
