Hi. I just joined the group, do not know much about it, and don't know if anyone on here can help.I am working on a MLS in the U.S.. One thing that I want more information on and have not had much fortune finding is over the topic of English girls' boarding schools around the 1940's-
1950's. Things like discipline, uniforms, subjects studied, what was going on in their country at that time period. Maybe literature that was well known, etc. Anything and everything I could find out. I know this is a broad topic. Does anyone have any ideas at all as far as finding more information on this subject? If no one on here knows of anything themselves does anyone know of resources or other contacts that I could find? Personal emails are welcomed as long as they remain on the subject. Thank you in advance, Renee

1. Go to Amazon.
2. Search on "St Trinians".
3. Say "Ooh, that's me well sorted".

In the library, most discussion of the topic is (probably) (a) adjunct to treatment of boys' schools (a larger population) and (b) written in the postwar years about schools as they were in their heyday, before 1939.
This is not unreasonable, considering that girls' boarding schools were modeled on boys' schools and both teachers and students came from the same stratum of society.
Likely places to start include: Jonathan Gathorne-Hardy, The Old School Tie (1979) E.S. Turner, Boys Will be Boys (1975)

Try Googling "St Trinians" - you'll learn about a series of British comic films dealing with the subject.

Don, I hate to a) disagree with you, and b) to help some idiot who's chosen a research topic she hasn't the first clue about; but the fiction of the English girls' school is overwhelming in its abundance.
But never mind, let her get on with it and think the books have some bearing on reality: she'll get her degree, and we'll get our laugh.
Linguistics never did anybody, other than dictionary users desperate for ***istance, any harm.

Hmm. How would comic films help?

Thank you for the help Don and for taking my question seriously.

You did say anything and everything you could find out. I'd be surprised if those films didn't tell you anything you didn't know already.

Can't we all just be friends? "yyub", indeed.
