Brookfield
Brookfield was an old grammar school established in the 16th century that gave the appearance of 18th century buildings surrounding a quadrangle. It struggled over time, declining to near non-existence before being restored in the mid-19th century, but remained a respected second-rank school. The school and its longtime teacher Chips mirrored each other in their preference for a relaxed atmosphere that stubbornly refused modernization. When a new headmaster clashed with Chips by trying to lead the school into a commercialized future, the school rallied around Chips, demonstrating that dignity, honor and perspective were more important than glamour.

"Her Life's Solace Was Visiting and News": social networks and gossip in nine...The Nation, Genre and Gender Project
Gossip is an integral facet of the social and narrative landscapes of 19th century novels. When two or more characters gather on the page to discuss a third (or additional) character(s), their conversation provides narrative exposition, illustrates the personalities and sentiments of the gossipers themselves (as well as their subjects of discussion), and is frequently a spur to dramatic action. In the humanities and social sciences, gossip has been conceptualised both as a subversive communicative mode and as a socially conservative one; meanwhile, social network analysis research has examined how the act of gossiping affects individuals and groups, and has identified network structures that are characteristic of gossip and its spread through a community. Combining these approaches, this paper utilises the corpus of literary social network analyses that have been prepared by the interdisciplinary Nation, Genre and Gender project, a large-scale survey of 19th century British and Irish novels combining computer science and humanities methodologies. We identify a number of scenes in these novels in which gossip occurs, and utilise these as prototypical social networks in order to investigate how gossip manifests throughout the wider corpus. Our focus is on the identification of theoretical "gossip structures" in the networks, and whether these are associated with particular aspects of the novel, such as its genre, the gender of the author or the attributes of the characters involved.1960`s in fashion
