Books by Thomas Hughes

Tom Brown er eneste søn af en engelsk godsejer - "en stærk og stridbar knægt" - og laver den slags numre og gale streger som sådan én nu gør. Da han omkring 1830 er ni år, bliver han sendt til Rugby, en offentlig kostskole, hvor han fortsætter med sine gale streger og lærer nogle flere, men trods alt stiger i klasserne og fra at være tyranniseret førsteklasse-dreng bliver en af de toneangivende elever, der tager sig af de små og afskaffer tyranniseringen.Tom Browns skoledage er - måske sammen med F. W. Farrars St. Winifred fra 1862 - stamfaderen til alle engelske og engelsk-inspirerede kostskoleromaner, og Tom Brown er på sæt og vis Harry Potters oldefar.

A classic of Victorian literature, Tom Brown's Schooldays has long had an influence well beyond the middle-class, public school world it describes.
