The Politics of Gender in Anthony Trollope's Novels

Book Description
Bringing together established critics and exciting new voices, The Politics of Gender in Anthony Trollope's Novels offers original readings of Trollope that recognize and repay his importance as source material for scholars working in diverse fields of literary and cultural studies. As the editors observe in their provocative introduction, Trollope more than any of his contemporaries is studied by scholars from disciplines outside literary studies. The contributors here draw together work from economics, colonialism and ethnicity, gender studies, new historicism, liberalism, legal studies, and politics that convincingly argues for the eminence of Trollope's writings as a vehicle for the theoretical explorations of Victorian culture that currently predominate. The essays variously examine imperial and postcolonial themes in the context of economic, cultural, aesthetic, and demographic influences; show how gender-sensitive readings expose Trollope's critique of capitalism's influence; address Trollope and sexuality in the context of queer studies, the law, archetypal constructions, and classical feminism; and offer new approaches to narrative theory through examination of Victorian understandings of male and female psychology. Regenia Gagnier's concluding chapter revisits the collection's critical strands and reflects on the implications for future studies of Trollope.

Book Description
The Complete Novels of Anthony Trollope is a comprehensive collection of the works of one of the Victorian era's most prolific and esteemed authors. Trollope's writing is known for its keen observations of society, politics, and human relationships, often presented with subtle humor and wit. His novels, including 'The Warden', 'Barchester Towers', and 'The Last Chronicle of Barset', provide a rich tapestry of characters and settings that capture the complexities of life during the 19th century. Trollope's style is marked by his detailed character development and exploration of moral themes, making his works both entertaining and thought-provoking. His social commentary and satirical elements are prominent throughout his oeuvre. Anthony Trollope, a Victorian-era novelist and civil servant, drew inspiration from his firsthand experiences and observations of English society, politics, and bureaucracy. Trollope's career in the postal service informed his depictions of bureaucracy in his novels, adding a layer of authenticity and insight to his works. His ability to balance his literary pursuits with his professional responsibilities speaks to his dedication and talent as a writer. I highly recommend The Complete Novels of Anthony Trollope to readers interested in Victorian literature, social commentary, and engaging storytelling. Trollope's works offer a fascinating portrayal of 19th-century English society, presented through a lens of wit, wisdom, and timeless relevance.

Book Description
The Palliser family comes to the forefront in a classic novel of politics and propriety from the series that inspired the BBC serial The Pallisers. With the Whigs and Tories at a standstill in attempts to form a working government, a compromise is finally reached, and the hardworking—and hardheaded—Plantagenet Palliser is installed as prime minister. But even as he gets used to the power and privilege of the high office, Palliser slowly and distressingly realizes that the government he leads is too fragile and disparate to actually accomplish anything. His own obstinate nature does not help matters. At home, Palliser’s wife, Glencora, causes more chaos as she attempts to support her husband in any way, going as far as to suggest that her daughter’s dubious suitor attempt to stand for Parliament. Subject to political embarrassment and personal turmoil, the Palliser family will have to decide on whose side they stand if they are to survive major scandal. In the penultimate installment of his epic Victorian saga, Anthony Trollope interweaves every last thread in anticipation of a truly climactic dénouement. The Prime Minister is the 5th book in the Palliser Novels, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

Book Description
Despite a decreasing popularity throughout his career, Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) has become one of the most notable and respected English novelists of the Victorian Era. His penetrating novels on political, social and gender issues of his day have placed him among such nineteenth century literary icons as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and George Eliot. Trollope penned 47 novels in his career, in addition to various short stories, travel books and biographies. A newfound interest in politics led to the publication of "The Prime Minister" in 1876, one of a group of novels sometimes called Trollope's parliamentary novels. This novel tells of the successes, troubles, and eventual failure of what the author calls the completed picture of a statesman, who should have "rank, and intellect, and parliamentary habits, by which to bind him to the service of his country . . . he should also have unblemished, unextinguishable, inexhaustible love of country" (from Trollope's Autobiography).
