Synopsis

The Landleaguers (1883) by Anthony Trollope is an earnest story of conflict and landowner and tenant rights in Ireland, based on the political events of 1881-1882, and the author's own strong convictions. Trollope cared deeply for the plight of the Irish people and traveled there extensively to chronicle and observe. In typical Trollope fashion, historical events and the exploration of social mores are tied into romantic relationships.

Unfortunately the novel is unfinished; the beloved British Victorian author suffered a stroke and died before completing it. The intended ending is sketched in by his second son Henry Trollope in the postscript to the volume.

About the Author

Anthony Trollope (24 April 1815 – 6 December 1882) was one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Among his best-loved works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote perceptive novels on political, social, and gender issues, and on other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life, but he regained the esteem of critics by the mid-twentieth century.
