DESCRIPTION:
When it appeared in 1874, Lady Anna met with little success, and positively outraged the conservative - `This is the sort of thing the reading public will never standa man must be embittered by some violent present exasperation who can like such disruptions of social order as this.' (Saturday Review) - although Trollope himself considered it `the best novel I ever wrote! Very much! Quite far away above all others!!!' This tightly constructed and passionate study of enforced marriage in the world of Radical politics and social inequality, records the lifelong attempt of Countess Lovel to justify her claim to her title, and her daughter Anna's legitimacy, after her husband announces that he already has a wife.

An Incomplete Saga E. T. Veal Anthony Trollope declared once that "Lady Anna" was "the best novel I ever wrote". Readers did not agree. Appearing between the masterpieces "Phineas Redux" and "The Way We Live Now", it sold poorly and has been neglected ever since. Trollope blamed this failure on h. Not one of my favorites I've read a lot of Trollope's works, and I can't say this one falls anywhere near the top of my list. Despite it having a stronger plot line than many of his other works, it contains what I think are some of his weakest characters. I will admit that I'm a sentimental. "I thoroughly enjoy his character development and his use of the English" according to P. Sexton. Typical Anthony Trollope. I thoroughly enjoy his character development and his use of the English language.
