The great Irish famine!By Russell FanelliIn 1841, as a young man of twenty-six, AnthonyTrollope moved to Ireland to take up the position of postal clerk. After ten years and nine novels written, he returned to England as a successful novelist. Anthony Trollope had already written three novels in the popular Chronicles of Barsetshire series, The Warden, Barchester Towers, and Dr. Thorne, when he wrote Castle Richmond. Unlike his popular Barsetshire novels set in England, Trollope decided to write a story about Ireland at the time of The Great Famine, which began in Ireland in 1845.Some of his best writing describes the plight of the Irish who lost everything, including their lives, when the potato crop on which they chiefly lived failed year after year. One of the main characters in the novel, Herbert Fitzgerald of Castle Richmond, does all he can to help his neighbors, but is largely unsuccessful. That the landowners like Fitzgerald were able to do so little to prevent mass starvation, illness, and emigration speaks volumes about the indifference and incompetence of the English lawmakers who watched the disaster in Ireland unfold and did little to stop it from destroying a large part of the Irish population.With the famine in the background, we watch the family problems of the Fitzgeralds and Desmonds, two landed and important families in Ireland. It comes to light that Herbert Fitzgerald may be illegitimate and the title to Castle Richmond may really belong to his poor cousin Owen Fitzgerald. Sorting out this problem takes up much of the novel. To complicate matters, both Herbert and Owen have fallen in love with and proposed marriage to Lady Clara Desmond. Lady Clara's mother wants her daughter married to the true heir of Castle Richmond and adjoining lands and property and we readers must wait until the end of the story to find out what happens to the Fitzgerald cousins and Lady Clara.It is difficult for the reader to take seriously the problems of the Fitzgeralds when so many Irish people around them are struggling for survival. When Trollope takes us aside and talks to us about The Famine, he seems sincere in his concern for the Irish struggling for survival, but it is the concern of the landed English gentry who thought that creating workhouses and feeding the people corn based gruel satisfied their responsibility to care for a people whose lands they had stolen and whose freedoms they had taken.The reader of this review might find it interesting to go to YouTube and listen to Sinead O'Connor sing her song Famine, or better yet, watch the film version of John B. Keane's play, The Field, much of which can also be found on YouTube.Let there be no mistake; Anthony Trollope is one of my favorite authors. I have read fifteen of his novels and will certainly read more. I consider Castle Richmond to be representative of Trollope's work. I enjoyed it and recommend it without resvervation either in book form or on Kindle. Comment | Permalink17 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Trollope fans, don't miss this one!By Maggie JarpeyA powerful, powerful book! The Irish potato famine in a major player in this story, very interesting and very moving, and the main characters are very interesting and very moving as well, especially Owen Fitzgerald, a character I will never forget. This book stirred me emotionally as no other Trollope book has, and I've read many of them and loved many of them. But this one is in a class of its own. Incidentally, the father-and-son Mollett team provides some delicious humor to give the reader a break from the strong emotion produced by the telling of the potato famine. The portraits of Irish servants were wonderfully rendered--I could see and hear them, and I loved them.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. OK... but for me, not so engagingBy Paul in L.A.Other readers have enjoyed this novel but it rather left me cold. You could do worse, but overall this story although competent feels forced and plot driven to me. It lacked humor, was not wholly credible, and did not compel attention. The insights and vignettes about the famine are harrowing, but seem to run in parallel as a mere coincidence to the story of the named characters, who could well have been set in another place or decade.

About the AuthorAnthony Trollope (1815-1882) started his writing career while working in Ireland as a postal surveyor. Travelling around the country, Trollope gained knowledge of the country and its people which proved to be useful material for his first two novels, The Macdermots of Ballycloran (1847) and The Kellys and the O'Kellys (1848). Trollope soon started writing fiercely, producing a series entitled Chronicles of Barsetshire. The Warden, the first in the series, was published in 1855. Barchester Towers (1857), the comic masterpiece, Doctor Thorne (1858), Framley Parsonage (1861), The Small House at Allington (1864) and The Last Chronicle of Barset (1867) followed, portraying events in an imaginary English county of Barsetshire. In 1867, Trollope left the Post Office to run as a candidate for the Parliament. Having lost at the elections, Trollope focused on his writing. A satire from his later writing, The Way We Live Now (1875) is often viewed as Trollope's major work, however, his popularity and writing reputation diminished at the later stage of his life. Anthony Trollope died in London in 1882.

  • Anthony Trollope*S Literary Reputation;
    ANTHONY TROLLOPE*S LITERARY REPUTATION; ITS DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDITY by ELLA KATHLEEN GRANT A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for. the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English The University of British Columbia, October, 1950. This essay attempts to trace the course of Anthony Trollope's literary reputation; to suggest some explan• ations for the various spurts and sudden declines of his popularity among readers and esteem among critics; and to prove that his mid-twentieth century position is not a just one. Drawing largely on Trollope's Autobiography, contemp• orary reviews and essays on his work, and references to it in letters and memoirs, the first chapter describes Trollope's writing career, showing him rising to popu• larity in the late fifties and early sixties as a favour• ite among readers tired of sensational fiction, becoming a byword for commonplace mediocrity in the seventies, and finally, two years before his death, regaining much of his former eminence among older readers and conservative critics. Throughout the chapter a distinction is drawn between the two worlds with which Trollope deals, Barset- shire and materialist society, and the peculiarly dual nature of his work is emphasized. Chapter II is largely concerned with the vicissitudes that Trollope's reputation has encountered since the post• humous publication of his autobiography. During the de• cade following his death he is shown as an object of comp• lete contempt to the Art for Art's Sake school, finally rescued around the turn of the century by critics reacting against the ideals of his detractors.

  • The Lawyers of Anthony Trollope
    The Lawyers of Anthony Trollope By Henry S. Drinker British novelist Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) wrote, in addition to 47 novels, an autobiogra- phy, a book on Thackeray, five travel books, and 42 short stories. Henry S. Drinker (1880–1965) was a partner in the law firm of Drinker Biddle and was also a musicologist. The essay that follows was an address delivered to members of the Grolier Club in New York City on Nov. 15, 1949. It is presented as it was published by the Grolier Club in 1950, in a book en- titled Two Addresses Delivered to Members of the Grolier Club; the other essay that appears in the book is “Trollope’s America” by Willard Thorp. Only 750 copies of the book were printed. hen I received the delightful invitation to speak Trollope was—perhaps I should say he became—an on Trollope—one of my chief enthusiasms—it extraordinarily careful observer of what was passing was immediately clear to me that my subject around him, and his genius lay in his ability to re-create, must be his lawyers; first, because, as a lawyer, I should with convincing vividness, the types of people whom he Wthus be able to make a more valuable contribution to the observed wherever he chanced to be. He did not create growing store of comment on his writings, and, second, his characters with any desire to point a moral, nor did he because I believe that Trollope’s ideas about and attitude use them as a medium for expressing his own ideas or toward lawyers have not been understood or appreciated epigrams.
