For each section of Acts, there is a side by side translation of the Bezan and Alexandrian manuscripts, followed by a critical apparatus and, finally, a commentary that explores the differences in the message of the two texts.

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.

This work is protected against unauthorized copying under Title 17, United States Code. ProQuest LLC 789 East Eisenhower Parkway P.O. Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 2 Abstract This thesis argues that real-life forgery cases significantly shaped the form of Victorian fiction. Forgeries of bills of exchange, wills, parish registers or other documents were depicted in at least one hundred novels between 1846 and 1879. Many of these portrayals were inspired by celebrated real-life forgery cases. Forgeries are fictions, and Victorian fiction’s representations of forgery were often self- reflexive. Chapter one establishes the historical, legal and literary contexts for forgery in the Victorian period. Chapter two demonstrates how real-life forgers prompted Victorian fiction to explore its ambivalences about various conceptions of realist representation. Chapter three shows how real-life forgers enabled Victorian fiction to develop the genre of sensationalism. Chapter four investigates how real-life forgers influenced fiction’s questioning of its epistemological status in Victorian culture.

  • Phineas Redux Is a Gripping Look at the Political Stage in Victorian England
    ANTHONY TROLLOPE Phineas COMPLETE CLASSICS Redux UNABRIDGED Read by David Shaw-Parker Returned from Ireland after the death of his wife, Phineas Finn has a newfound ambition to rise through the ranks of English politics. But not long after regaining his seat in parliament, Phineas’s luck begins to desert him. His reputation is tarnished after the press circulate rumours of an affair with Laura Kennedy, and his ambitions are frustrated by opposition from within the Party. Then, when his Party rival Mr Bonteen is discovered dead, all fingers point towards Phineas, leading to his incarceration and humiliation at the dock… How will he redeem himself, and who will come to his aid? Phineas Redux is a gripping look at the political stage in Victorian England. It is perhaps the most personal of Trollope’s Palliser series, being coloured by the author’s own experiences as a Liberal candidate between the time he wrote this and Phineas Finn. David Shaw-Parker trained at RADA and began his career with the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1977. His theatre appearances include My Fair Lady, The False Servant and Oedipus Rex at the Royal National Theatre, and The Country Wife, Acorn Antiques, Heavenly Ivy and Uncle Vanya in London’s West End.

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’.

  • The Three Clerks Trollope, Anthony
    The Three Clerks Trollope, Anthony Published: 1857 Categorie(s): Fiction, Literary, Biographical Source: http://gutenberg.org 1 About Trollope: Anthony Trollope's father, Thomas Anthony Trollope, worked as a barrister. Thomas Trollope, though a clever and well-edu- cated man and a Fellow of New College, Oxford, failed at the bar due to his bad temper. In addition, his ventures into farm- ing proved unprofitable and he lost an expected inheritance when an elderly uncle married and had children. Nonetheless, he came from a genteel background, with connections to the landed gentry, and so wished to educate his sons as gentlemen and for them to attend Oxford or Cambridge. The disparity between his family's social background and its poverty would be the cause of much misery to Anthony Trollope during his boyhood. Born in London, Anthony attended Harrow School as a day-boy for three years from the age of seven, as his father's farm lay in that neighbourhood. After a spell at a private school, he followed his father and two older brothers to Winchester College, where he remained for three years. He re- turned to Harrow as a day-boy to reduce the cost of his educa- tion. Trollope had some very miserable experiences at these two public schools. They ranked as two of the most élite schools in England, but Trollope had no money and no friends, and got bullied a great deal. At the age of twelve, he fantasized about suicide. However, he also daydreamed, constructing elaborate imaginary worlds. In 1827, his mother Frances Trollope moved to America with Trollope's three younger sib- lings, where she opened a bazaar in Cincinnati, which proved unsuccessful.

As the story begins, few years have passed and Phineas is older and wiser. I am totally disgusted with politics, though I know government is needed to govern people and people are far from perfect. His family were poor and eventually were forced to move to Belgium, where his father died. Phineas Redux is about his second foray into politics.

Its a classic piece on scapegoating and jealousy.

He wakes up out of his dream as a result. The shift in her relationship with Phineas was interesting — in the first book he wanted more of her than she would give, and in this book that reversed. His life as definitely not turned out like he thought it would at the end of Phineas Finn. Newly widowed, he decides to plunge back into politics by accepting an offer to run for a seat in the House of Commons.
