Anthony Trollope's late style : Victorian liberalism and literary form

Van Dam, Frederik2017
Books
Henry James famously dismissed Anthony Trollope's ultimate compositions for their 'fatal dryness of texture' and 'mechanical movement'. Taking its cue from James' observations, while challenging his assessment, this study suggests that the peculiar aesthetic of Trollope's late novels was born out of his growing doubt about the viability of liberalism in a world increasingly marked by global capitalism.
