MISS MACKENZIE (1865) by Anthony Trollope is the story of "a very unattractive old maid" as the author originally called her. But Trollope must have changed his mind in the writing, because the steadfast and sensible heroine comes across as highly sympathetic to the reader, and once again the subject of love is inescapable.
Miss Mackenzie, a spinster long past her first bloom, with the sudden possibility of a fortune, is beset by suitors and personal choices.
A deft exploration of money, love, and relationships by a master of sensibility, caricature, and the social mores of his time.

FROM MODEST LONDON CLERK -- TO WEALTHY MANOR SQUIRE
Here is one of Anthony Trollope's most critically successful novels, received well by his contemporaries, and yet experimental enough in execution to be almost "modern."

Indefer Jones is the squire of an estate named Llanfeare in Wales. He's dying. He'd like to bequeathe his manor and holdings to his beloved niece Isobel Brodrick -- but tradition dictates he will his land to a male relative with his name --...

John does not quite understand his father, Daniel Caldigate, Squire of Folking. His mother and two sisters have died, very recently while John was in his first year at Harrow; and when he returns to Folking for the holiday his father hides whatever grief he feels and discourses on subjects of small interest to a boy who, at fifteen, is forming his own views of the world: Liberal politics, and the antiquated ways of the Church -- how can he pay heed, when there are partridges to hunt? It is an easy matter to spend more time at Uncle Babington's house, where there is to be found riding,...

John Caldigate has broken and mended more fences than seems possible -- with his father, with his relatives, and with his father's friend the banker. And with more luck than he has needed, he has won the love of several young women, even while keeping his heart set upon the young daughter of that banker. Moreover he has risked his fortune in Australia, making his way among the most disreputable of men, in order to dig a shaft into the earth in search of gold -- and against all odds he has managed not only to find the true metal, but to bring it back home to England.
Now happily married...

LINDA TRESSEL (1868) by Anthony Trollope was originally published anonymously, and was an attempt at a stylistic and thematic departure for the author. However, the voice of Trollope was unmistakable in this much more somber work, and the true authorship was ultimately unveiled.
The heroine, Linda Tressel, is pressured by her religious zealot aunt to marry an unpleasant man she finds repulsive. The story unfolds in some caricature and melodrama, yet remains an interesting study of Victorian social mores and relationships.
