The setting of A Separate Peace, Devon School, is based on Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire, where author John Knowles attended. The school in the book captures the atmosphere, traditions, and social dynamics of Knowles's own boarding school experience at Phillips Exeter.
In the first chapter of A Separate Peace, John Knowles creates tension by providing details about the setting at the boys' school, Devon. He describes the looming presence of World War II, the strict rules and traditions of the school, and the internal conflicts of the characters, particularly the protagonist Gene's jealousy towards his friend Finny. These details set the stage for the underlying conflicts and themes that will unfold throughout the novel.
