While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation. Silver prints of "photographs" may be ordered at additional charge by writing the Order Department, giving the catalog number, title, author and specific pages you wish reproduced.

CONCLUSION 181 SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY 191 V ABSTRACT Most critics have until recently considered Anthony Trollope to be primarily an objective historian whose literary accomplishment lies in his realistic por­ trayal of Victorian social life. Generally these critics have given careful attention to his realism emd his docu­ mentary abilities rather than to his artistry. But some modern scholars are beginning to discern complex subjec­ tive attitudes underlying his works, and in that spirit this study, through an analysis of his Autobiography and his Barsetshire novels, reveals that Trollope creates his fictional society according to his own assumptions about social position. From his "angle of vision" he establishes a society in which he favors social movers and socially stable characters and punishes social climbers. In his Autobiography Trollope admits that the bar­ riers between the classes should be broken, but he also affirms the necessity for observing differences between the classes. He reflects these social attitudes in his novels, depicting a consistently stable social system which preserves class distinctions while it allows justi­ fiable social advancement. After the analysis of Trollope's vi vii social opinions in the Autobiography, this study relates them to the cases of social stability, movement, and climbing in each Barsetshire novel. In addition to offer­ ing consistent examples, each novel seems to emphasize a particular aspect of his social scheme. For example, in The Warden Trollope stresses through his characterization of Mary Bold the blessedness of social stability, while in Barchester Towers he shows, in the ambitious Obadiah Slope, that the opposite of stability, social climbing, is both absurd and punishable. In Doctor Thorne Trollope reveals his conservative belief that an essential element of successful social movement to the upper class is good breeding. In Framley Parsonage he allows Griselda Grantly, who does not have the proper qualifications, to climb successfully in order to satirize society for per­ mitting this unethical social activity. With his social system clearly defined in preceding novels, in Small House at Allington Trollope particularly emphasizes the complexity of social climbing, as in the case of Adolphus Crosbie, an attractive character who nonetheless deserves and receives punishment for his climbing. Trollope mildly reaffirms his social values in the Last Chronicle of Barset by favorably treating the socially stable charac­ ters like Lily Dale and the social mover Josiah Crawley, and by punishing social climber Dobbs Broughton. viii Thus Trollope's subjective attitudes about social activity are consistent and discernible in his works. It can be surmised that according to his ethical standards he felt one ought usually to remain in the class where he was born* but that if he is morally principled, intelli­ gent, properly educated, and unambitious for the social move, then he may, by natural advancement within his pro­ fession or by marriage based on true love, rise to a higher class. When one lacks proper qualifications for social movement and ambitiously seeks a higher position, he is a "social climber," and he should be punished for his ambition. The revelation of these attitudes under­ lying Trollope's works seems to demand that he be judged hereafter not on the basis of his historical accuracy but rather on the basis of his merit as a true novelist shaping and interpreting the material he chooses. CHAPTER I TROLLOPE'S PERSONAL ATTITUDE TOWARD SOCIAL STRUCTURE Most critics reading Anthony Trollope's Barsetshire novels praise him for realistically portraying Victorian so­ cial life; only a few realize that he expresses a subjective vision in these works. Novelists like Dickens and Thackeray are always recognized not only for realistically describing

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.

Brody バー セ ッ トへ の 訪 問 アン トニー ・トロロップのバーセットシャーについての小説 エィ デ ィ ー ン ・ ブ ロ ー デ ィ 19世 紀 の 英 国 作 家 、 ア ン トニ ー ・ ト ロ ロ ッ プ は 架 空 の 州 、 イ ギ リ ス の バ ー セ ッ トシ ャ ー の ・ 人 々 の 生 活 を 描 い た6つ の 小 説 の 作 者 と し て 最:も知 ら れ て い る 。 本 論 文 で は 、 そ の6つ の 小 説 、 そ の 背 景 、 そ し て トロ ロ ッ プ 作 品 の 特 長 に つ い て 語 る。 Although Anthony Trollope was a prolific writer, he is today best remembered for his six books about life in Barsetshire , the fictitious West Country county with its principal town of Barchester which existed so vividly in Trollope's imagination. The novels were The Warden (written in 1855), Barchester Towers (1857), Doctor Thorne (1858), Framley Parsonage (1861), The Small House at Allington (1864) and The Last Chronicle of Barset (1867). Such is Trollope's power of description, both of people and places, that the reader becomes totally caught up in the life of the Barsetshire community, and the title of the final book comes to sound ominous, tolling the knell of parting pleasure. The last chronicle. Oh, no ! Neatly wrapped up and tied together though the series may be, we still want more. The Life of Anthony Trollope Born in London in 1815, Trollope's early life was marked by what might be a peculiarly English defect : coming from a `good' family, educated and titled, (Anthony Trollope's great-great grandson, Sir Anthony Trollope, is the current holder of the title), yet also a financially very embarrassed family, the father still thought it 94 Bul.
