Anthony Trollope

Ralph the Heir is a novel by Anthony Trollope, originally published in 1871. Although Trollope described it as "one of the worst novels I have written", it was well received by contemporary critics. More recently, readers have found it noteworthy for its account of a corrupt Parliamentary election, an account based closely on Trollope's own experience as a candidate.

Dive into the literary classics with The Claverings by notable Victorian author Anthony Trollope. The Claverings tells the tale of young Harry Clavering, an aspiring engineer and son of a clergyman. Harry falls in love with a young and beautiful woman, only to have her swept away by a wealthy Earl. She later returns, but only after young Harry has entered into a relationship with another woman. This is a classic love triangle story that is centered on human nature and the tough decisions we all must make. The characters are rich and real, flawed and driven by emotion, with layers that are expertly revealed by Trollope as the book progresses. This is a Victorian novel through and through, and cannot be separated from the era it was written in. It can at times be slow and meandering. It is not a ferocious page-turner, but rather the perfect complement to a quiet day by the lake. Sincere and at times humorous, The Claverings will appeal to fans of Trollope's work, readers of Victorian fiction, or anybody interested in investing time in a good love-triangle story. It is an excellent entry point to the stories of Anthony Trollope, and is thus highly recommended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Small House at Allington is the fifth novel in Anthony Trollope's series known as the "Chronicles of Barsetshire", first published in 1864. It enjoyed a revival in popularity in the early 1990s when the British prime minister, John Major, declared it as his favourite book.

Rachel Ray is an 1863 novel by Anthony Trollope. It recounts the story of a young woman who is forced to give up her fianc because of baseless suspicions directed toward him by the members of her community, including her sister and the pastors of the two churches attended by her sister and mother. The novel was originally commissioned for Good Words, a popular magazine directed at pious Protestant readers. However, the magazine's editor, upon reading the galley proofs, concluded that the negative portrayals of the Low church and Evangelical characters would anger and alienate much of his readership. The novel was never published in serial form.
