First published in 1865, The Belton Estate is concerned with the plight of unmarried, impecunious women in the 19th century. A novel rich in psychological insights, this is a love story, but one of unusual proportions in a Trollope novel.

About this title

About the Author:

As young adult, Trollope endured seven years of poverty in the General Post Office in London before accepting a better-paying position as postal surveyor in Banagher, Ireland in 1841. The years in Ireland formed the basis of his second career delineating clerical life in small cathedral towns.

Synopsis:

Clara Amedroz, a young single woman with no money, is courted by Will Belton and Captain Aylmer, but has trouble deciding which suitor really loves her.
