Extremely soppy story that would make a stunning costume drama for the BBC as it has all the right elements - nasty dowager duchesses, scamming suitors, impoverished lovers and people dying of consumption or similar. At the end everyone's fortunes are reversed - the poor have money, the snotty get their comeupance, and those who might have been in love for pecuniary advantage are proved to have been decent joes all along. Everyone who deserves to lives Happily Ever After. Anthony Trollope is a favourite author of mine and I've been wanting to read Miss Mackenzie for several years. With my brand new Kindle, getting a copy was incredibly swift and easy - not to mention cheap! I'm happy to report that my first Kindle reading experience was a pleasure - Trollope didn't let me down nor did this amazing reading device. Margaret Mackenzie's mother died when she and her two older brothers were children. Her father was employed at Somerset House and the family was reasonably well connected. Mr. Mackenzie was cousin to the 9th baronet Mackenzie in Scotland and the late Mrs. Mackenzie was sister to the first baronet Ball. However, they didn't maintain close relationships with these relatives for a few reasons. Jonathan Ball left an inheritance to Miss Mackenzie's brothers instead of to another nephew. Also, the elder Mackenzie brother, Tom, went into trade. Margaret first nursed her father and then her brother Walter. When Walter died the 35-year-old spinster inherited his money and decided to experience life. She relocated from London to the town of Littlebath and suddenly found herself with several suitors, not to mention more attentive relatives. This was delightful Trollope, witty and humourous, and the author really kept one guessing as to what Miss Mackenzie's fate would be. (less) Miss Mackenzie tells the story of a middle-aged woman who, having nursed her sick brother for her entire life, finds herself to be the recipient of his fortune when he dies. As she attempts to navigate the social whirl to which she has never before been exposed, the unexpected...more Sadly overlooked in the 21st century, Anthony Trollope is a gem of the British literary establishment whose books, whilst less enduringly popular than Austen or the Brontes, are every bit as witty, intelligent and timeless. Considering this book was written in 1865, the language is easy to understand - even surprisingly modern in parts - whilst remaining sharp and succinct. The watertight prose is deliciously acerbic, summing up a character in just a handful of words and painting a scene with a couple of pointed observations. Despite being steeped in the culture and social mores of the time - fashions, habits and expectations are well-documented throughout - the overall theme is relevant and identifiable as it focuses on the misunderstandings between the genders, plus the timeless question of love versus money and right versus wrong. Miss Mackenzie herself is a likable character, sweet without being saccharine and in posession of a pleasingly tough streak, whilst her fellow cast-members are satisfyingly fleshed out, even if they appear for no more than a few lines. Trollope as a storyteller make biting, ironic asides and offers helpful hints and opinions, offering us an insight into his delightfully witty mind. At times, it's hard to believe the modernity of his references and assorted backstories, and his accuracy in describing the wide-ranging selection of classes, genders and personalities. Despite being written well over 100 years ago, Trollope's novel is accessible, familiar (both in emotion and, to any Londoners, the geographical location) and ultimately, very fun. The story is slow, but blessedly so; it's not about the twists and turns, but the character development, and the intriguing insight into a world which, for better or worse, is slowly being forgotten.(less) This unusually short and uncomplicated Trollope novel was a delicious read; there isn't a single slow spot. And the novel is especially interesting from a feminist perspective. I think I can safely say that it's the most unromantic novel with a marital plot--that is, a plot that ends with marriage--that I have ever read. Miss Mackenzie spent her youth in a dependent and confined environment, nursing her invalid brother. At his death she finds herself free and well to do, and sets out to discover what life can offer her in these circumstances. The dangers are many, as Miss Mackenzie, though middle aged (at least in Trollope's time), still thinks wistfully of marriage, and her money makes her a target for fortune hunters. She has multiple suitors, but none are young or dashing; even the ultimate victor remains stodgy and querulous, though ethically embraceable. An excellent comic novel that explores in acute detail the money-marriage tangle and creates a memorable and realistic portrait of a strong woman in the latter half of the nineteenth century--Miss Mackenzie is my favorite Trollope heroine ever.

The novel was championed by Joanna Trollope who will be appearing on 'Open Book' to talk about the story in the very same week the Classic Serial begins the broadcast of Part One. Margaret decides to rent a small house in Littlebath and takes her surviving brother Tom's daughter with her as her ward. Tom and his wife, Sarah, are horrified that they have been left no money, especially as they find themselves in financial difficulties.

Pick Up A Trollope ~ 1 Pick Up A Trollope Perhaps more than any other writer of the Victorian era, Anthony Trollope wrote novels that transcend the time and place of their writing so that they speak to a 21st Century audience as eloquently as they addressed their first readers 150 years ago. For me, the reason why this is so is evident – Trollope wrote about characters who are real, who engage our sympathies in spite of, indeed I would argue, because of their flaws. No hero is without his feet of clay; no heroine perfectly fits that Victorian archetype “the Angel of the Hearth” and no villain is without redeeming feature, be it courage or compassion, shown at a key moment in the story. Examples of just such flawed, and therefore more believable, characters abound in the selections included here. Whether it be Melmotte, the prescient depiction of the unscrupulous financier, inThe Way We Live Now (was ever a book so aptly named?), or the conscience-stricken Lady Mason of Orley Farm, or Madeline Neroni, the apparently heartless femme fatale playing out her schemes in Barchester Towers, all live in the mind of the reader after the pages of the book are closed. This, I attribute to Trollope’s acute powers of observation, honed through years of feeling an outsider on the fringes of the society in which he moved, which enabled him to reveal through almost imperceptible nuances insights into even the humblest of his characters.

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.

There is no cholera, no yellow-fever, no small-pox, more contagious than debt. Troubles visit the Robarts in the form of two main plots: one financial, and one romantic. The other marriage is that of the outspoken heiress, Martha Dunstable, to Doctor Thorne , the eponymous hero of the preceding novel in the series. For all the basic and mundane humanity of its story, one gets flashes of steel, and darkness, behind all the Barsetshirian goodness. But this is not enough for Mark whose ambitions lie beyond the small parish of Framley. Lucy, much like Mary Thorne in Doctor Thorne acts precisely within appropriate boundaries, but also speaks her mind and her conduct does much towards securing her own happiness. Lucy's conduct and charity especially towards the family of poor priest Josiah Crawley weaken her ladyship's resolve. Audio MP3 on CD.

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.

Gamblers and Gentlefolk: Money, Law and Status in Trollope’s England Nicola Lacey* Abstract: This paper examines the range of very different conceptions of money and its legal and social significance in the novels of Anthony Trollope, considering what they can tell us about the rapidly changing economic, political and social world of mid Victorian England. It concentrates in particular on Orley Farm (1862) — the novel most directly concerned with law among Trollope’s formidable output — and The Way We Live Now (1875) — the novel most directly concerned with the use and abuse of money in the early world of financial capitalism. The paper sets the scene by sketching the main critiques of money in the history of the novel. Drawing on a range of literary examples, it notes that these critiques significantly predate the development of industrial let alone financial capitalism. Probably the deepest source of ambivalence about money in the novel has to do with ‘commodification’.
