With an Introduction and Notes by Peter Merchant. Canterbury Christ
Church College. The tough-mindedness of the social satire in and
its air of palpable integrity give this novel a special place in
Anthony Trollope's Literary career. Trollope paints a picture as
panoramic as his title promises, of the life of 1870s London, the
loves of those drawn to and through the city, and the career of
Augustus Melmotte. Melmotte is one of the Victorian novel's
greatest and strangest creations, and is an achievement undimmed by
the passage of time. Trollope's 'Now' might, in the twenty-first
century, look like some distant disenchanted 'Then', but this is
still the yesterday which we must understand in order to make
proper sense of our today.
