Synopsis
One Ralph Newton is a ne'er-do-well; the other is illegitimate. One must inherit the family property, but will social convention triumph over just deserts? Rich in hunting senes, love plots, and Radical politics, this tale of crossed inheritance combines the darker hues and confident social criticism of Trollope's later writing with passages of autobiography and broad comedy. This is the only annotated student edition available. This book is intended for general, Trollope fans, students of Victorian literature, and the Victorian legal scene.

From the Back Cover
This novel tells a story of crossed inheritance. One Ralph Newton, a handsome ne'er-do-well, has the expectation of the family property. His cousin (also Ralph Newton) is a wholly worthy fellow, but a bastard and may not by law inherit what his father desperately wants to bequeath him. This situation provides Trollope with the occasion for a profound analysis of moral worth and legal right. It is a novel of Trollope's maturity, featuring the darker hues and confident social criticism of his late phase together with streaks of broad comedy.
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.
