Author Hughes, Thomas, 1822-1896
Title Tom Brown at Oxford
Note Reading ease score: 76.7 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read.
Summary "Tom Brown at Oxford" by Thomas Hughes is a novel written in the mid-19th century. It serves as a sequel to the author's earlier work, "Tom Brown's School Days", continuing the adventures of Tom Brown as he embarks on his university life at a fictional college in Oxford called St. Ambrose. The narrative explores themes of friendship, social barriers, and the dynamics of college life during that era, where Tom interacts with a diverse group of characters and navigates the challenges presented by both academic and social pressures. At the start of the story, Tom Brown arrives at St. Ambrose's College, filled with a sense of excitement and apprehension after leaving behind the structured environment of school. He reflects on his time away from education, partaking in outdoor activities like hunting and cricket while realizing the importance of returning to a disciplined study routine. As he acclimates to life at Oxford, readers are introduced to the culture and social dynamics of the college, particularly the divide between the wealthy gentleman-commoners and less privileged students. Tom's initial encounters, including a humorous and challenging rowing experience, lay the foundation for his growth and development throughout the novel, establishing key relationships and character dynamics that will be explored in his journey at university.
