But Trollope always seems to have these selfless females who will give up the man they love because they're too afraid of hurting his reputation or relationship with his family. That irks me after awhile.

He is often compared to Dickens but the Austen comparison seems much more valid. <br /><br /><br />Though I do find Trollope to be more nuanced, detailed and complex, but he had the luxury of building upon Austen's brilliance.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.com
