		The school bully in Tom Brown's School Days is Flashman, and it was hard to remember that Flashman was the bad guy.
		But it still takes a long time before the hero (Tom Brown, duh) is introduced, because Hughes is more interested in rabbiting on about the lovel English countryside.
		And even when Tom finally gets onstage, it's still a long time before he gets to school, which is where the story really starts.

	Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes 9
		Tom was flogged next morning, and a few days afterwards met Velveteens, and presented him with half a crown for giving up the rod claim, and they became sworn friends; and I regret to say that Tom had many more fish from under the willow that May-fly season, and was never caught again by Velveteens.
		The School-house boys of Tom's standing, one and all, as a protest against this tyranny and cutting short of their lawful amusements, took to fishing in all ways, and especially by means of night-lines.
		Tom's heart beat fast as he came under the tree; two steps more and he would have passed, when, as ill-luck would have it, the gleam on the scales of the dead fish caught his eye, and he made a dead point at the foot of the tree.

		The boy hero of the adventure story was only rivalled by the intrepid schoolboy characters that followed in the wake of Tom Brown's School Days, 1857.
		Hero tales originated in the oral tradition and now exist in written accounts which have come down to us principally via the cheap ballad sheets and chapbooks which perpetuated the exploits of legendary characters such as Robin Hood.
		This young hero was often involved in upright causes and could be moved to violence in their name.

	Tom Brown's School Days - DVD Store
		Though a son of privilege in a rigidly class-conscious society, Tom Brown is a born egalitarian.
		Tom's struggle is more personal: Before his arrival, he offended a wealthy but corrupt man who commissions his equally dissolute son Gerald (Richard Morant), a senior student at Rugby, to make Tom's life miserable.
		Too often a virtuous hero is a recipe for blandness, but the insightful script makes Tom clever but fallible.

		Brown, seeing the boy’s inaptitude for female guidance, had decided in Benjy’s favour, and from thenceforth the old man was Tom’s dry nurse.
		He talked to Tom quite as if he were one of his own family, and indeed had long completely identified the Browns with himself.
		Tom had two abettors in the shape of a couple of old boys, Noah and Benjamin by name, who defended him from Charity, and expended much time upon his education.

		Popular tradition, supported by Stanley’s Life (1844) and Hughes’s Tom Brown’s School Days (1857), regards Thomas Arnold as the universal reformer or re-creator of public schools.
		The first steps in a real reform of courses of instruction among schools of this type were taken by the early Victorian foundations, chiefly proprietary, such as Cheltenham, Liverpool, Marlborough, Rossall, Brighton, Radley and Bradfield.
		The decline from which public schools had suffered was nowhere more evident than at Shrewsbury, where, in 1798, there were not more than twenty boys.
