Anotácia knihy

The Fall of Doctor Onslow (1994) was the sixth and final novel by Frances Vernon (1963-1991). Published posthumously, it is perhaps her finest work. Set in 1858 it is the story of Dr George Onslow, reformist headmaster of a leading public school, who harbours private passions that are fated to be the death of his life's ambition. "A searing indictment of the process of education...The narrative is tersely written in a style that successfully captures Victorian restraint and its stifling sensibilities". (Ben Preston, Times). "A remarkable work, written with spirit and erudition...It is difficult to believe when reading it that the author was a child of our times and did not actually live in the middle of the last century: she recreates that world so vividly, with such understanding of its characters, such an ear for its speech, such feeling for its attitudes and taboos". (Jill Delay, Tablet).
