About The Author: Oscar Browning (1837–1923) was a notable British figure in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, recognized as an educator, historian, and a charismatic socialite at Cambridge University. He played a significant role in the early advancement of professional teacher training, serving as the principal of the Cambridge University Day Training College (CUDTC) from 1891 to 1909. Additionally, Browning showcased his prolific writing skills through the publication of popular histories and other books. When he joined Eton as a teacher, Browning observed that the college's governance remained largely unchanged since its establishment in the 15th century, and the curriculum focused primarily on classical Latin and Greek texts, with minimal reforms over the years. However, the winds of change were stirring, and in 1861, the Clarendon Commission was established by the government to investigate the conditions of Britain's leading public schools, including Eton. Despite his educational responsibilities, Browning continued to contribute to the field of history, releasing works such as a study on Peter the Great in 1898, followed by a comprehensive History of Europe in 1901.
