Is He Popenjoy? (1878) by Anthony Trollope is a novel of British Victorian mores, based on an infamous social scandal of the day having to do with a disputed noble inheritance. In true Trollope fashion, marital issues and heartwarming sensibilities are mixed into a cauldron of wit, humorous satire, and notions of propriety (including the amusing introduction of the decidedly shameless dance called "the Kappa-kappa"), with Mary Lovelace, a young woman at the heart of the complex multi-layered story that poses and finally answers the question "who is Lord Popenjoy."

Autorenporträt
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.
