Castle Richmond

Beschreibung

A sharp, generous gaze at a provincial world, Castle Richmond invites you into a richly drawn Midlands estate and the delicate, dangerous negotiations between land and people. This is not merely a Victorian tale; it is a keenly observed Irish historical fiction that threads satire, politics, and heartache into a living social novel. Anthony Trollope's careful balance of character and context yields a story where landlord tenant conflict meets a wider drama of reform and nation-building. The book's moral interrogations, lively social scenes, and quietly unfolding political tensions offer both engrossing plot and a lens on nineteenth-century Ireland and Victorian Britain. Its appeal ranges from readers seeking a gripping narrative to those pursuing classroom-study edition-level clarity and enduring literary craft. Castle Richmond stands as a touchstone in the nineteenth century literary tradition, inviting comparison with Dickensian social commentary and its own distinctive Irish register. A significant, historically resonant work, Castle Richmond illuminates a formative era when reform movements and everyday life intersected with enduring questions of land, loyalty, and legitimacy. For casual readers, it delivers a sweeping, human-centered story; for classic-literature collectors, it represents a treasured, scholarly-pitched artefact. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint, it is a collector's item and a cultural treasure, carefully prepared to endure as part of a reimagined, accessible nineteenth-century canon.

Autor

Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote novels on political, social and gender issues and other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life but he had regained the esteem of critics by the mid-20th century. Trollope began writing on the numerous long train trips around Ireland he had to take to carry out his postal duties. Setting very firm goals about how much he would write each day, he eventually became one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, occasionally dipping into the "lost-letter" box for ideas.
