Full Description
First published in 1968, this book sets out to refute the idea of Trollope as a 'mild cathedral-town novelist, describing storms in ecclesiastical tea cups' which prevailed at the time in spite of his stature during his lifetime. The author reveals the full strength and range of Trollope's achievement and provides an excellent introduction to further exploration of the novels. Two sections — 'Narrative Method' and 'Subject-Matter' — are used as the basis from which the author examines key themes in Trollope's work, with instructive extracts from the novels included to illustrate these points and upon which commentary is provided. This book will be of interest to students of literature.
