Barchester Towers
          The intrigues of ecclesiastical politics in the cathedral city are intertwined with the lives of some of the most memorable figures in the literature of the time. From the formidable Mrs. Proudie to the oily Mr. Slope, it is immediately clear why this volume, the second of the Barchester series, was so popular at the time of writing. Neither is it a surprise that Barchester Towers has remained so well loved.

Miss Mackenzie
          MISS MACKENZIE (1865) by Anthony Trollope is the story of "a very unattractive old maid" as the author originally called her. But Trollope must have changed his mind in the writing, because the steadfast and sensible heroine comes across as highly sympathetic to the reader, and once again the subject of love is inescapable. Miss Mackenzie, a spinster long past her first bloom, with the sudden possibility of a fortune, is beset by suitors and personal choices. 

Cousin Henry
          "Cousin Henry" was first published in 1879, and has been called one of Trollope’s more experimental short novels. Protagonist Indefer Jones is forced to choose an heir to his estate due to his ailing health. Jones is torn between logic and social conventions to choose the heir, as the obvious candidate happens to be his niece, but tradition dictates that it should be a man that shares his surname. The tale follows the conflict between heirs, and the dramatic happenings that ensue.
