Tom Arnold (1823-1900), also known as Thomas Arnold the Younger, was an English literary scholar and second son of the famous schoolmaster Thomas Arnold of Rugby. Arnold grew discontented with Victorian Britain and attempted to take up farming in New Zealand. Failing to make a success of this career, in 1850 he moved to Tasmania, having been invited to take the job of Inspector of Schools by Governor William Denison. Soon after arriving in Hobart, he fell in love with and married Julia Sorell, granddaughter of former Governor William Sorell. They had nine children (four of whom died young), among them: Ethel, who was a suffragist and child model, Mary, who became a novelist under the name Mrs Humphry Ward, Julia, who married Leonard Huxley, the son of Thomas, and gave birth to Julian and Aldous, and William Thomas the journalist. While in Tasmania, Arnold converted from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism, a move which angered his Protestant wife sufficiently to cause her to smash the windows of the chapel during his confirmation. The marriage was to be plagued by domestic strife over religious loyalty until Julia's death. At the time Tasmania would not employ Catholics in senior civil service positions, and so in 1857 the family moved back to England. Arnold took a job teaching English literature at the Catholic University in Dublin. One of his last students was James Joyce. This book is a record of his life in New Zealand and Tasmania, told through his letters. A scarce book. Jacket by Patrick Hanly (illustrator).
