Summary "The Crofton Boys" by Harriet Martineau is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Hugh Proctor as he transitions from the comfort of his home in London to the rigors of boarding school at Crofton. Throughout his experience, Hugh faces the challenges of growing up, such as bullying and academic struggles, against the backdrop of his desire to fit in and prove himself among his peers. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Hugh's home life and his family's dynamics, highlighting his relationships with his siblings and the context of his impending departure to school. Hugh grapples with anxiety about his performance at Crofton and a longing for his mother's support. As he navigates his new environment, he encounters various characters, including his brother Philip, who is already a student at Crofton, and other boys who will shape his experiences at the school. This early portion sets the stage for Hugh's personal growth and the trials he will face in adapting to school life as he learns about friendship, resilience, and self-discovery.
