Thomas Hughes Books Overview
Tom Brown’s Schooldays
Thomas Hughes 1822 1896, who also wrote under the pseudonym An Old Boy, was an English lawyer and author. He was elected to Parliament as a Liberal for Lambeth 1865 1868, and for Frome 1868 1874. An avid social reformer, he became interested in the Christian socialism movement led by Frederick Maurice, which he had joined in 1848. In 1880 he founded a settlement in America Rugby, Tennessee which was designed as an experiment in utopian living for second sons of the English gentry, although this later proved largely unsuccessful. While his original intent was unsuccessful, Rugby still exists and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is currently pursuing National Landmark status. Hughes is most famous for his novel Tom Brown’s School Days 1857, a semi autobiographical work set at Rugby School, which Hughes had attended. It had a lesser known sequel, Tom Brown at Oxford 1861. He also wrote The Scouring of the White Horse 1859, Religio Laici 1868, Life of Alfred the Great 1869 and Memoir of a Brother 1873.
