David Blaize is E. F. Benson's delightfully nostalgic novel of
English public school life. Benson follows young David Blaize from
his time at preparatory school to his entry to the sixth form at
Marchester College. The novel draws heavily on the author's own
schoolboy experiences when at Temple Grove and then Marlborough
College. Benson, better than most writers in this genre, memorably
evokes the trials and tribulations of life in an English public
school during the late Victorian period. The pages resonate with
wit and humour. The reader is invited to follow young Blaize as he
deals with eccentric masters, experiences halcyon days on the
cricket field, frets over dreaded parental visits, and experiences
personal growth through a platonic friendship with Maddox, a senior
boy at Marchester ... This is a newly edited and corrected version
of the text. It contains a specially commissioned introduction as
well as explanatory notes by Craig Paterson.
