There were as many as 90 stories set in British boarding schools published between Sarah Fielding's The Governess, or The Little Female Academy in 1749 and 1857,[51] Tom Brown's School Days was responsible for bringing the school story genre to much wider attention. This include private and independent boarding schools as well as public schools though. Tom Brown's School Days' influence on the genre of British school novels includes the fictional independent boarding schools of Billy Bunter's Greyfriars School, Mr Chips' Brookfield,[lower-alpha 2] and St. Trinian's.
