One of the most enduringly popular novelists of the Victorian era,
English writer ANTHONY TROLLOPE (1815-1882) created entertainingly
rambling fictional explorations of towering social issues, from
class and money to politics and gender roles. Trollope has been a
huge influence on modern storytelling, from the bumblings of the
upper-crust of P.G Wodehouse's yarns to the intricate, interwoven,
interpersonal narratives of television soap operas. In this
satirical 1875 novel-acclaimed at the time as Trollope's best
work-the author turns a scathing eye on the unbridled greed,
intellectual dishonesty, and rampant financial scandals that he saw
as plaguing England at the time. This tale of unscrupulous
financier Augustus Melmotte and his crimes-which revolve around
get-rich-quick schemes that lure in the rich and famous-is so
reminiscent of today's bleak and grasping economic environment that
it remains a supremely relevant read. Trollope's black tone and
withering censure of this world make it a supremely satisfying read
as well.
