The book explores themes of education, individualism, and the personal dilemmas faced by a teacher in a rigid public school environment. The opening of the diary introduces readers to Traherne's initial experiencesat Radchester, where he feels overwhelmed by the responsibilities of teaching and the stark contrast to his previous life at Oxford. He expresses a mix of excitement and anxiety as he navigates his new role, trying to manage unruly students and dealing with unyielding colleagues.
