Enriched Edition. Victorian Romance NovelBy Anthony Trollope
Length37h 49m
About this audiobook
Anthony Trollope's He Knew He Was Right is a searching Victorian study of marriage, jealousy, and the destructive tyranny of certainty. Centered on Louis Trevelyan's obsessive suspicion of his wife Emily's friendship with Colonel Osborne, the novel expands into a richly peopled social panorama, interweaving courtship plots, clerical ambitions, and family negotiations. Trollope's style is characteristically lucid, ironic, and humane: he anatomizes moral error not through melodrama alone, but through the gradual pressures of class, gender, pride, and convention within mid-nineteenth-century domestic realism. Trollope, one of the most prolific and socially observant novelists of Victorian England, drew deeply on his experiences as a civil servant, traveler, and chronicler of institutional life. His fiction often turns on the conflict between private feeling and public expectation, and this novel reflects his mature interest in psychological rigidity and the legal and social limitations placed upon women. Written after the major Barsetshire novels, it shows Trollope widening his canvas while sharpening his moral scrutiny. This book is highly recommended to readers of Victorian fiction, marital tragedy, and psychologically acute social novels. It offers both narrative breadth and intimate insight, rewarding those interested in how ordinary assumptions can become instruments of ruin.
