The Vicar of Bullhampton (Illustrated)

Beschreibung

The Vicar of Bullhampton (1870) by Anthony Trollope is a particularly strong work that features all the British Victorian elements that the author is better known for: relationships, family bonds, intricate romantic entanglements, bittersweet nostalgia, social commentary, and delightful humor. Frank Fenwick, the vicar of Bullhampton, is at the heart of the story that involves the lives of several young people, including the beautiful Mary Lowther and the fallen "castaway" Carry Brattle. There is unrequited and misguided love, proposals and rejections, tragedy and scorn, and the comic showdown between the vicar and a marquis that involves the building of a rival chapel. This fine edition contains thirty-five vintage illustrations by H. Woods.

Autor

Renowned for his Chronicles of Barsetshire series and the Palliser novels, Anthony Trollope was a prolific and renowned English novelist. Trollope was born into a middle-class household, but his early years were characterized by chaotic family dynamics and financial hardships. In spite of these obstacles, he succeeded in his career as a civil servant in the British Post Office, where he spent more than thirty years. Published in 1847, Trollope's debut book, "The Macdermots of Ballycloran," marked the beginning of his writing career. He proceeded to produce travelogues, non-fiction books, short stories, and 47 novels during his lifetime. The richly detailed portrayal of Victorian life, the astute observation of human nature, and the examination of contemporary moral and social issues define Trollope's writing. His books frequently include nuanced individuals battling social and personal issues against the backdrop of small-town England or the corridors of political power. Trollope is regarded as one of the greatest Victorian novels because of his realistic depiction of ordinary life, complex narratives, and witty writing.
