Reforming Trollope

Exploring the intersection of gender, race, and genre, Deborah Denenholz Morse offers a transformative analysis of Anthony Trollope's later novels. She challenges the portrayal of Trollope as a complacent figure, revealing his evolving perspectives on the pastoral genre, modernity, primogeniture, and the marriage market. Additionally, Morse addresses Trollope's views on British imperialism and the slave trade, highlighting his complex engagement with social issues of his time. This work reshapes our understanding of Trollope's contributions to literature and society.
