The Changing World of Anthony Trollope

About this book

Explore the transformative world of Anthony Trollope through Robert M. Polhemus's seminal study, The Changing World of Anthony Trollope. This work delves deep into Trollope's mastery as a chronicler of societal shifts and individual moral dilemmas. Polhemus intricately examines Trollope's best and most representative novels, such as the Barset and Palliser series, revealing the nuanced interplay between personal growth and historical currents. From the humor and poignancy of his characters to his exploration of the evolving Victorian mindset, Trollope emerges as both a mirror of his age and a commentator on the timeless challenges of adaptation and conscience. With a focus on Trollope's unique ability to weave history, humor, and human emotion, Polhemus sheds light on the novelist's enduring relevance. Highlighting Trollope's celebration of the ordinary as extraordinary, the book captures his exploration of middle-class virtues and the often-overlooked complexities of everyday life. A must-read for lovers of Victorian literature, The Changing World of Anthony Trollope offers a fresh perspective on a literary giant whose works continue to resonate with modern audiences.
