Dr. Wortle's School is a novel written by Anthony Trollope and published in 1881. The story revolves around Dr. Wortle, the headmaster of a small private school in England. He is a devoted educator who takes great pride in his work and cares deeply for his students. However, his world is turned upside down when he discovers that one of his teachers, Mr. Peacocke, is not actually married to his wife, but to another woman who is still alive. This scandalous revelation threatens to ruin the reputation of the school and the lives of everyone involved. The novel explores themes of morality, social class, and the consequences of deception. Trollope's writing is known for its wit and insight into human nature, making Dr. Wortle's School a compelling read for fans of Victorian literature.The Doctor had found it difficult to carry out the scheme described in the last chapter. They indeed who know anything of such matters will be inclined to call it Utopian, and to say that one so wise in worldly matters as our schoolmaster should not have attempted to combine so many things. He wanted a gentleman, a schoolmaster, a curate, a matron, and a lady -- we may say all in one.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
