When boarding-school fiction became popular in the 19th century, it tended to be warm and nostalgic, filled with sporting events, practical jokes, and schemes to get even with campus bullies. Many stories have been written about British boarding-schools. This is the first study that explores the history of boarding-school fiction in the United States.
