Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Acton's Feud: A Public School Story" by Frederick Swainson is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds within a boys' public school setting and weaves a tale of rivalry, character conflicts, and the process of adolescent growth. The central figure, John Acton, is depicted as a talented but tempestuous student whose actions on the football field set the stage for deeper rivalries and tensions within his house, Biffen's. The opening of the novel introduces the atmosphere of St. Amory's School through the unfolding excitement of an annual football match. Acton's impressive prowess on the field is overshadowed by a moment of unsportsmanlike conduct, triggering conflict with his peers, particularly Bourne, the captain of the football team. As tensions escalate following Acton's foul play against the rival Shannon’s team, the complexities of school life, friendship, and rivalry are set into motion. The consequential choices Acton faces amidst growing animosity hint at the developing themes of honor and redemption that will likely drive the story forward.
