| Summary | "The Young Physician" by Francis Brett Young is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of a young boy named Edwin Ingleby as he navigates his formative experiences at a public school, including struggles with bullying, friendships, and the challenges of growing up. As Edwin grapples with his identity and social status, the narrative explores themes of courage, self-discovery, and the impact of external influences on one's sense of self. The opening of the novel presents a vivid depiction of Edwin's surroundings as he walks along the aptly named "Murderer's Cross Road," reflecting on his fears concerning a bully named Griffin. The narrative introduces Edwin as a thoughtful and imaginative boy, contrasting his daydreams with the harsh realities of school life. Edwin’s initial moments are marked by his sense of isolation and yearning for acceptance, as he recalls his awkward first day at St. Luke's School, where he encounters an array of personalities, from friendly peers to unkind bullies. The writing immerses readers in Edwin’s inner thoughts and emotions, setting the stage for his coming-of-age journey against a backdrop of school life, social hierarchies, and personal aspirations.
