Trollope wrote this moving tragedy in 1870 but withheld it from publication—perhaps due to the sensitive subject matter—until 1879. A young Englishman tries to reconcile his duty—as the heir to the Earl of Scroppe—with his desire to do right by a beautiful Irish girl he seduces and impregnates while serving with the cavalry in Ireland.
Об авторе
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.
