When it appeared in 1874, Lady Anna met with little success, and positively outraged the conservative - ‘This is the sort of thing the reading public will never stand...a man must be embittered by some violent present exasperation who can like such disruptions of social order as this.' (Saturday Review) - although Trollope himself considered it ‘the best novel I ever wrote! Very much! Quite far away above all others!!!' This tightly constructed and passionate study of enforced marriage in the world of Radical politics and social inequality, records the lifelong attempt of Countess Lovel to justify her claim to her title, and her daughter Anna's legitimacy, after her husband announces that he already has a wife. However, mother and daughter are driven apart when Anna defies her mother's wish that she marry her cousin, heir to her father's title, and falls in love with journeyman tailor and young Radical Daniel Thwaite. The outcome is never in doubt, but Trollope's ambivalence on the question is profound, and the novel both intense and powerful.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

Kartoniert, 428 Seiten, 229mm x 152mm x 26mm, Sprache(n): eng Lady Anna (1874) by Anthony Trollope is a British Victorian novel of social mores, courtship, and thwarted relationships, dealing with the impact of an extended legal dispute over the validity of a noble title upon the lives of a countess and her daughter. In this powerful story that the author himself considered one of his most successful, Lady Anna is torn between love and duty, between two suitors and the pressures of conforming to her mother's iron will.Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote novels on political, social and gender issues and other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life but he had regained the esteem of critics by the mid-20th century. Trollope began writing on the numerous long train trips around Ireland he had to take to carry out his postal duties. Setting very firm goals about how much he would write each day, he eventually became one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, occasionally dipping into the "lost-letter" box for ideas. Versandkostenfreie Lieferung<
