See all formats and editions

Despite a decreasing popularity throughout his career, Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) has become one of the most notable and respected English novelists of the Victorian Era.

His penetrating novels on political, social and gender issues of his day have placed him among such nineteenth century literary icons as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and George Eliot.

Trollope penned 47 novels in his career, in addition to various short stories, travel books and biographies. "e;Doctor Thorne"e; (1858) is the third novel in Trollope's series known as the "e;Chronicles of Barsetshire,"e; and is argued to be Trollope's best work.

It tells the story of Mary Thorne, the niece of Dr. Thomas Thorne, whose illegitimacy remains a secret for much of the novel as she is raised by her kind uncle and falls in love with the rich Frank Gresham.

This melodramatic novel displays Trollope's brilliant management of plot and dialogue while exploring themes of illegitimacy, class division and the practice of marrying for money.
