Raymond

$30.00

Raymond starts with the story of a young boy being sent to boarding school. It described the trials and tribulations of school life and continued with Raymond growing into a young man. He attended Cambridge but dropped out, met and married a young lady and then quarrelled with his father who refused to help him. He then attempted to make a living by translating some ancient Greek plays with no success. In poverty his wife and child died and in despair he killed himself.

The story of the boy's life and his marriage is based on Lang's own life although the school part is transposed from Sydney to England. The ending is of course very much in the melodrama mode of the time, and bears no relation to Lang's life here.

Raymond was first produced as a serial in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine in 1840 and reprinted in The Mofussilite in 1862.
