Description

A sharp, affectionate portrait of youth and belonging, The Adventures Of Mr. Verdant Green (Part I) invites you into a cluttered, comic world where a hopeful freshman discovers the cunning, charm, and social weather of Victorian Oxford. This edition isn't just a reprint; it is a restored gateway to a campus fiction classic that laughingly surveys university life experiences through the eyes of a gentle, ever-curious hero. With wit that fits both the educated reader and the curious newcomer, the book blends coming of age humour with a keen social satire of class, turnover, and schoolroom rituals. It stands as a landmark in Victorian fiction, and a touching precursor to generations of ardent readers who relish the longueurs, loyalties, and mischief of university circles. For classic-literature collectors and casual readers alike, this volume holds enduring value: a vivid map of 19th century britain campus life, a window on victorian england oxford, and a humane, affectionate portrait of youth navigating tradition. Though out of print for decades, Alpha Editions now offers a faithful, lovingly restored edition that preserves the work's charm for today's readers and future generations. It's more than a book; it's a cultural treasure and a lasting testament to the enduring appeal of Edward Bradley's pen under the pseudonym edward bradley.
