Anstey is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Mark Ashburn, a young and somewhat ambitious schoolmaster who longs for recognition and literary success while navigating his interactions with students, colleagues, and peers. The book explores themes of aspiration, identity, and the quest for validation within the context of education and friendship. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to St. Peter's School, where Mark Ashburn teaches. The narrative vividly depicts the school's atmosphere and the tumultuous energy of the boys at the end of the school day. Mark encounters a distressed student, Langton, who has been unfairly accused of misconduct, prompting Mark to intervene as an advocate. This opening sets the stage for Mark's character, revealing his struggles with self-worth and his desire for literary achievement while also hinting at his relationships with those around him, including a close friendship with another aspiring writer, Vincent Holroyd, who is preparing to leave for Ceylon. The interactions between Mark and the various characters in this initial section establish a foundation for the unfolding narrative, rooted in ambition, personal challenges, and the complexities of human connections.
