 note = {This paper investigates the political functions of Gervase Phinn’s view, “Teaching is the best job in the world,” based on the discussion of its social meanings, historical connotations and geographical significances. This statement, originally by Phinn’s teacher as an encouragement to take the job of teaching, always remains as Phinn’s mainstay through his life first as a teacher, next as a school inspector, and now as a novelist. Although teaching may well be the best job in the world, in fact “the world” before Phinn’s eyes presents particularly daunting challenges: deprived lives, difficult times and dejected places. That statement becomes all the more important and impressive especially in those adverse circumstances. Phinn’s school novels depict his and many other teachers’ brave and dedicated endeavours to overcome educational disadvantages for immigrant children, under Thatcherite reforms, and that in Yorkshire: the lowest ranked region in England for educational attainment. In Phinn’s non-fictional stories, the reader can detect constant struggles to verify the ideal through many critical moments in daily settings. While his episodes and expressions are extremely funny, his plots and narrative earnestly restores and enhances personal dignity and regional pride of Yorkshiremen and Brits. His firm belief in the value of this vocation can be received by his twenty-first century readers as an illuminating revelation to equally hard times of today, when Britain faces unknown insecure realities to be brought by Brexit from EU., text, application/pdf},
