The English public school : a personal and irreverent history
Stephen, Martin, 1949-2018
Books
Until his retirement in 2011, Dr Martin Stephen was High Master of St Paul's School and before that of Manchester Grammar School, two of the most academically successful independent schools in the world, bar none. As such, he is uniquely placed to write a study of that extraordinary phenomenon, the English public school, institutions that are as admired in some quarters as they are despised and vilified in others. His book, however, is no hagiography, and pulls no punches when it comes to the author's views on the failings of private educational establishments, while also showing what their benefits can be.
