Summary "A Dog with a Bad Name" by Talbot Baines Reed is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a boy named Jeffreys, who is unfairly blamed for a tragic incident at Bolsover College, leading to a lifelong stigma that isolates him from his peers. As the narrative unfolds, Jeffreys faces numerous challenges, including poverty and an encounter with abandoned children, forcing him to confront his past and the consequences of the incident that earned him his "bad name." At the start of the tale, the setting is a dilapidated school, Bolsover College, where the atmosphere is rife with dissatisfaction among both students and staff. The opening portion establishes Jeffreys as a social outcast, deeply affected by an earlier event where he was wrongfully accused of nearly killing another student, Forrester. As the plot progresses, we see how Jeffreys' life deteriorates, leading to a poignant exploration of his character, the dynamics of school life, and the developing tension surrounding the relationship between him and his former classmates as they prepare for a pivotal football match. The initial exposition sets the stage for Jeffreys' journey, touching on themes of bullying, redemption, and the struggle for acceptance. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
