Nonsuch Classics: Mr Verdant Green

Meer over het boek

The adventures of Mr. Verdant Green, an Oxford freshman, is a wonderfully amusing and engaging account of a naive university student, thrown into life amongst the hallowed halls of this famous institution. Upon the publication of its first part in 1853, this work quickly became something of a cult novel, and the second and third parts quickly followed. All three part are published together in this volume. Widely regarded as a classic of its age, it evokes a sense of the work of Jerome K. Jerome, or the kind of scenarios of which P.G. Wodehouse might have written, had the bent of Bertie Wooster been somewhat more academic.
