School Novels

School story
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The school story is a genre of fiction, basic to much of the children's literature of the twentieth century. The boarding school is a very common setting, with its plot advantages of the absence of parents and a relatively closed society.
The first true school story may have been Tom Brown's Schooldays, which was followed by innumerable Victorian era imitations, and magazine series. The Harry Potter series of novels has extensively reviewed some of the generic conventions, albeit being filled with average fantasy conventions. These include the idea that the action should be described, almost exclusively, from the pupils' viewpoint.
