Decent late 19th century inheritance novelBy Alyssa MarieBasically, this story explores the concepts behind inheritance, property, illegitimacy, and marriage, among others. Some concepts that I didn’t at all expect to be thrown in were dirty election campaigns, which I thought was a lot of fun to read about — it’s vastly different from my own experience as an American citizen, although I’m sure times have changed in England and it’s also vastly different over there today.While I enjoyed reading the story to get a feel for the arguments Trollope makes about inheritance and such, it was a very long novel. It dragged a bit in in the middle, but was overall fairly interesting. It’s certainly not a fun, light read, however. The characters are fashioned more like character studies rather than original fictional people who are super developed and feel like friends and acquaintances; rather, they are carefully crafted to fit into Trollope’s world of proving points about morals, values, and class.If you’re studying the late 19th century and want to get a better feel for the era and the social problems they experienced then (as perceived by Trollope) — I think this works great as a companion work. But it’s not a light, fluffy read by any means.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Not Trollope at his best, but still worth recommending to those readers who love the work of the master.By Russell FanelliI have read and reviewed many of Anthony Trollope’s novels including the famous Palliser and Barchester series of books. When I tire of reading modern novels, I often turn to Trollope for what I expect will be an excellent reading experience. I was not disappointed with Ralph the Heir. Although Ralph the Heir is not among Trollope’s finest novels such as Phineas Finn, The Last Chronicle of Barset, and The Way We Live Now, it still represents some of the best writing of the master.The plot is typical Trollope. Ralph the heir, the hero of our story, has borrowed freely and now can’t repay the loans. He is forced to take desperate measures and considers selling his inheritance back to an uncle who hates him. Thus begins the novel and it takes much of three hundred pages before we come to a resolution to Ralph’s problem.Trollope seldom gives us one problem to resolve in a novel, and so it is with Ralph the Heir. The second story concerns Ralph’s guardian, Sir Thomas Underwood, who has decided to run for Parliament. This is familiar territory for Trollope, who himself ran for a seat in Parliament and lost. Sir Thomas runs for a seat from the corrupt borough of Perrycross. His difficulties in Perrycross closely follows Trollope’s own experience in his campaign in the borough of Beverley. Trollope knows what he is talking about and unfortunately for me, takes too much time describing Sir Thomas’s electioneering in Perrycross.It is, after all, Ralph the heir whose story Trollope is telling, and this story is complicated. Ralph’s uncle, the squire of Newton Priory, has an illegitimate son, also called Ralph, and the uncle wants his own son to inherit his property. The two Ralph’s are a study in contrast. The heir is frivolous, foolish, sometimes dishonest, and careless, both in his relationships with others and his limited financial resources, which he has squandered. The illegitimate Ralph is honest, good, and true, the stuff heroes are made of. We must arrive at the last few pages of the novel before we finally learn what happens to both Ralphs.Anthony Trollope is a great novelist and even when he is not at the top of his form, as in Ralph the Heir, he is so accomplished a story teller that we can find much to like in his work. And so it is in Ralph the Heir. We care about what happens to both Ralphs as they attempt to resolve their problems; we care much less about Sir Thomas and his difficulties attempting to get elected to Parliament.Trollope succeeds in drawing us in to the world of the two Ralphs and it sometimes feels like we are actually present in some scenes where the two young men get in and out of trouble. Trollope talks to us directly about their situations. Even though Trollope disapproves of much of the behavior of Ralph the heir, he still treats him compassionately and we readers do the same. Ralph the heir is not all bad; in fact, he is much like many people who stumble through their lives, making bad decisions and paying the consequences, but then getting up and trying again – perhaps only to fail again.At the end of an evening reading Trollope we often find ourselves thinking about what we might do if we took the place of one or more of the characters in the story. Unlike modern novels which are often instantly forgettable, we don’t soon forget what happens in Trollope’s novels because we enter them, live them, and become a part of them. So it is with Ralph the Heir, not Trollope at his finest, but still a novel that those readers who love the work of the master will want to read.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

  • My Beautiful Beach
    1 My Beautiful Beach There is nowhere else I’d rather be, nothing else I would prefer to be doing. I am at the beach looking west with the continent behind me as the sun tracks down to the sea. I have my bearings. Tim Winton Land’s Edge lying into Perth over the Indian Ocean, one of the first landmarks one notices is the line of Norfolk Island pines, tall and erect as if on sentry duty above Cottesloe Beach. For weary F passengers confined for endless hours inside an aircraft, these stately trees are a welcome sign of an imminent end to their journey. But for those who live in this isolated urban outpost, these proud pines carry much more weight. With their widely spaced, parallel branches they symbolise things familiar in a vast and sometimes frightening world, containing within them all the joy and pain associated with the word ‘home’. For Gerald Glaskin, Cottesloe’s pine trees had a special significance. When he would return to Perth from his numerous trips abroad, the sight of them triggered deep memories, some pleasant and some he would rather forget. They marked the place where he grew up as a young boy, where he returned to constantly as a writer seeking inspiration, where he had a devastating surfing accident, and where his life came full circle when his long-time companion scattered his ashes off the Cottosloe groyne. Other beaches would figure in Glaskin’s life – Pantai Cinta Berahi [The Beach of Passionate Love] on Malaysia’s northeast coast, Singapore’s Ponggol, and the Costa Brava in Spain – but Cottesloe was his first and very own beach, his ‘beautiful beach’.

The paper uses a reading of a number of novels by the English author Anthony Trollope to explore the impact of primogeniture, entail, and the mar- riage settlement on the relationship between men and women and the extent to which women were involved in the ownership, transmission, and management of property in England in the mid-19th century. INTRODUCTION A recent Accounting Historians Journal article by Kirkham and Loft [2001] highlighted the relevance for accounting history of Amanda Vickery’s study “The Gentleman’s Daughter.” Vickery [1993, pp.

English SENSATION FICTION AND THE LAW: DANGEROUS ALTERNATIVE SOCIAL TEXTS AND CULTURAL REVOLUTION IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY BRITAIN (238 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Joseph P. McLaughlin This dissertation argues that nineteenth-century sensation fiction evoked a cultural revolution that threatened to challenge accepted norms for personal behavior and increase possibilities for scripting one’s life outside of established norms for respectable behavior. Because of the ways that it threatened to represent new scripts for personal behavior, sensation, which I term a “dangerous alternative social text,” disrupted hegemony and provided new ways of thinking amongst its Victorian British readership; it became a vehicle through which the law and government (public discourses) ended up colliding with domesticity

  • Trollope in America
    Trollope and America i 6 attempted to make sense of the relations between the two nations. For the most part, these authors presented America and Britain as different from - AMANDA CLAYBAUGH and opposed to - one another, and their writings established the terms in which this difference would be described. American openness and British Trollope and America reserve, American energy and British leisure, American merchants and British gentlemen: these oppositions are familiar even in our own day. Each of these nations thus represented what the other was not, but each also represented what the other might yet choose to become. In the eyes of the British, as the critic Paul Giles has shown, America embodied the full flowering of a dissenting tradition that had begun with the English refor- mation and then migrated across the sea. As a consequence, America was The Trollope family made something of an industry of visiting America and frequently invoked, as both exemplar and as cautionary example, in British writing about it. In the late i8zos, Frances Trollope had gone to America in debates about religion and politics.1 In the eyes of the Americans, as the the hope of reviving the Trollope family fortunes. After trying and failing to critic Lawrence Buell has shown, Britain set a cultural standard against establish a business on the western frontier, she decided to become an which American achievements inevitably seemed inferior or, at best, author instead. She first published a book about her American travels, belated. For this reason, the most ambitious American authors, including The Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832), and then a novel, The the ones belonging to the American Renaissance, explicitly rebelled against Refugee in America (1832), and the success of these launched her on a the British and European authors whom they secretly feared they could not prolific career.

The story of a righteous man's battle with his conscience.By Leonard L. WilsonIn the 15th century, Hiram's Hospital was established as a perpetual charitable home for 12 poor old men, each being replaced at his death. Over the years the income from the property of the estate has increased to the point where the warden of the hospital enjoys a substantial salary.The Rev. Septimus Harding (the Warden), kind, gentle, and conscientious, loves his comfortable position and is loved by the old men under his care - until his life is disrupted by a REFORMER, in the person of young John Bold, who questions the ample income of the warden, while the old men still receive only pennies a day. Bold brings in a solicitor and interests the newspaper The Jupiter (obviously the London Times), which makes the issue a national debate.Although the church stands behind the warden with all its influence, the gentle Mr. Harding himself begins to doubt the propriety of his position.
