One of Anthony Trollope's later tales, 'Is He Popenjoy?' is a comic novel which deals with themes of inheritance and illegitimacy. The novel centres around the contested inheritance of Manor Cross, a large family estate. Having spent time abroad, the Marquis of Manor Cross returns to England with his new Italian wife and son, Lord Popenjoy, but soon reveals himself to be a tyrannical character. His brother Lord George Germain must vacate the property for his brother the Marquis, but questions soon arise as to the legitimacy of his marriage and heir. This Trollope tale is full of twists and turns, scheming and jealousy. Fans of the book may also enjoy Trollope's earlier novel 'He Knew He Was Right'.
