The Loom of Youth
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Loom of Youth is a novel written by Alec Waugh, older brother of Evelyn Waugh, based on his life at Sherborne School, a public school in Dorset. When it was published in 1917, it was quite controversial due to its open portrayal of the homosexual passions between the boys. The result of this controversy is that Waugh remains the only former pupil to be expelled from the old boys society (The Old Shirburnian Society).
