A History of Harrow School, 1324-1991Oxford University Press, 2000 - 599 páginas 'Fine study... despite Dr Tyerman's strong Harrovian connections, he has written a genuinely detached account of his old school which corrects previous pious assumptions and judgements... This sympathetic and scholarly study is more than just an institutional biography of a famous school... The governors' trust in their appointed historian has been amply rewarded.' -English Historical Review'Merits a readership well beyond Old Harrovian circles.' -History'Well-written and extensively researched... a book of far greater importance than its title suggests... A pleasure to read' -HISTORY'Monumental... a scrupulous work, engagingly written.' -Charles Sprawson, Spectator'The value of this distinguished and scholarly work is enhanced by exceptionally full footnotes and an excellent bibliography.' -J.H.C. Leach, Times Literary SupplementHarrow School is the second most famous school in the English-speaking world. This is the first modern history of the school, and, supported by a full academic apparatus of source references, it frankly confronts the school's failings as well as its successes; its financial, educational, and sexual scandals as openly as its well-publicized eminence as the school of Byron, Churchill (and six other British prime ministers), and Nehru. |
