Dr. Wortle's School is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1881. The story revolves around the titular character, Dr. Wortle, who runs a small school in the English countryside. When a new student, the son of a local clergyman, arrives at the school, rumors begin to circulate that the boy's mother is not actually married to his father. Dr. Wortle is faced with a difficult moral dilemma as he tries to navigate the scandal and protect his school's reputation. The novel explores themes of morality, social class, and the power of rumor and gossip. With Trollope's characteristic wit and insight into human nature, Dr. Wortle's School is a compelling and thought-provoking read.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. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
