Summary "The Crofton Boys" by Harriet Martineau is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows a young boy named Hugh Proctor as he navigates his first experiences at a new school—Crofton—where he hopes to find adventure and acceptance among his peers, particularly with his older brother Phil. The early chapters focus on Hugh's home life, setting up his anticipation and anxiety about leaving for school, as well as his interactions with his family, which demonstrate both familial affection and the challenges he faces as the youngest child. The opening of the book introduces us to the Proctor family in London, emphasizing their close-knit home and highlighting young Hugh's longing for adventure and his struggles with learning at home. As the narrative unfolds, Hugh grapples with his feelings about school, dealing with difficulties in adapting to a new environment and the emotions that come from being away from his family. His excitement is tempered with challenges, such as fitting in with the other boys and learning the nuances of school life. This beginning establishes a strong backdrop for themes of childhood, family, and the transition from home to school, offering readers a glimpse into both Hugh's internal conflicts and broader social dynamics.
