The Kellys and the O’Kellys (1848), Trollope’s fourth novel set in Ireland, abounds in two of his signature themes: fortunes and fortune hunters, and unrequited love and marriage. It is a witty tale of a member of the landed gentry, Francis O’Kelly, Lord Ballindine, and his Catholic tenant, Martin Kelly. Both fall in love and encounter social and economic barriers. Lord Ballindine is rejected for being a spendthrift and Martin Kelly falls in love with the sister of the novel’s villain, Barry Lynch, whose father had filched a fortune from the Ballindine estate.

A propos de l’auteur
Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a quintessential Victorian novelist best known for his series of novels, the Chronicles of Barsetshire, set in the imaginary county of Barsetshire. Tirelessly prolific, he tackled a rich assortment of the political, social, and gender issues of the day. As career employee of the British Postal System, he is credited with introducing the “pillar-box” mailboxes on street corners.
