Dear Doc
I rarely tire of recommending Kipling, or his Stalky and Co.. It was published in two different versions, the first one, titled as above, had a selection of stories that Kipling wanted in the book. Later on (in the '20s or '30s), he allowed The Complete Stalky and Co., which included the five other stories which had also been published in various other magazines/collections. One of those five, "The Propagation of Knowledge", contains a wonderful 'viva', concerning the 'real' author of Shakespeare's plays - in particular, what's described as the 'Baconian heresy'.
If you're interested in period features of the examination culture, it's definitely worth seeking out.
