Description

Publisher's advertisements: [16] p. at end.

In publisher's binding, paper covered boards; advertisements on back cover; pastedowns, and flyleaves.

This is Trollope’s first published novel and would launch his series of Irish novels. Unfortunately, this was not a popular success when it was first published in 1847, but more recent examination has produced a positive review. The plot “chronicles the tragic demise of a small Catholic landowning family in Protestant-dominated Ireland.” Abductions, murder, and seduction enliven this tale.
