책소개

Emily finally yields to Lopez’s persistent courtship despite her father’s strong objections and Arthur Fletcher’s continuing devotion, and Abel Wharton reluctantly accepts the marriage rather than lose his daughter, but the honeymoon quickly reveals the weakness of the match as Lopez becomes dissatisfied with the money available to him and shows an increasingly calculating obsession with wealth, while the Duke of Omnium struggles to lead a coalition divided by incompatible interests and the Duchess tries to strengthen her husband’s position through social influence, eventually encouraging Lopez to stand for Parliament at Silverbridge, and Lopez treats her encouragement almost as a guarantee of political advancement and enters the contest with growing confidence even as his treatment of Emily and her family becomes more demanding and aggressive, foreshadowing disaster in both his marriage and his political ambitions.

저자(글) Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) was one of the major English novelists of the Victorian era, known for his realistic and perceptive portrayals of politics, society, class, marriage, money, and human relationships. He worked for many years for the British Post Office while pursuing his literary career, and his remarkably disciplined writing routine enabled him to produce more than forty novels during his lifetime. His best-known works include the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which portray the clergy and social life of a fictional English county, and the Palliser novels, which explore political ambition, power, love, and marriage. Rather than relying on sensational events, Trollope focused on ordinary choices and social conflicts, revealing human vanity, desire, conscience, and compromise with humor and psychological insight. Popular with readers during his lifetime, he is now regarded as one of the most important realist novelists for understanding the social and political world of nineteenth-century Britain.
