Autorenporträt
John Huntley Skrine (1848-1923) was an English clergyman and author, known for his contributions to education and literature. Skrine's literary output reflects his deep engagement with social and educational issues of his time. His best-known work, 'Uppingham by the Sea,' recounts the extraordinary circumstances in which the Uppingham School, where he served as a housemaster, was relocated to Borth in Wales during an outbreak of typhoid in 1875-1876. This event was a testament to the dedication of the school's headmaster, Edward Thring, under whose aegis Skrine worked. Skrine's narrative provides insights into the Victorian educational establishment, as well as the trials and tribulations faced by the Uppingham community during this period of temporary exile. Skrine's writing is colored with his pedagogical and pastoral concerns, and he often infuses his text with a sense of humanity and moral purpose. His contributions to literature and education remain a subject of interest for scholars studying the evolution of schooling practices and the role of the clergy in Victorian society.
