Summary: "Dr. Wortle's School" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the character of Dr. Jeffrey Wortle, a well-respected rector and schoolmaster who runs a preparatory school in the village of Bowick. As the novel unfolds, issues of class, reputation, and the complexities of personal relationships intertwine, particularly focusing on the tensions arising from Dr. Wortle's interactions with the local gentry and his new staff members. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Dr. Wortle, who is depicted as authoritarian yet generous, maintaining a level of mastery over his school and family. He has successfully established a thriving school but has recently encountered a challenge from the Stantiloups, a wealthy family, over perceived excess charges for student extras. This situation sets the stage for a narrative filled with conflicts addressing social status, the nature of authority in education, and the personal dynamics in Dr. Wortle's life, including his relationships with his wife and their daughter, Mary. The opening portion hints at the complexities that will arise with the new usher, Mr. Peacocke, as secrets from Peacocke's past threaten to disrupt the seemingly stable existence Dr. Wortle has cultivated.
