Understanding Trollope

If you are a fan of Trollope's or just discovering his gifts, you couldn't do better than to read this excellent treatise by Shirley Robin for you'll find yourself 'seeing' so much more in his work and appreciating just how deeply meaningful it is. Trollope never introduced a character without intending them to represent a type of individual we all meet and then also introducing another who was an opposite to that character representing another 'choice' the other character could have taken, but didn't. This is a book that takes some concentration to fully appreciate, but it is well worth the effort, for you'll then be able to read Trollope's many books and find all the treasures he left there for you.
