Anthony Trollope's Late Style : Victorian Liberalism and Literary Form de Frederik Van Dam Resumen del Libro

Exploring Anthony Trollopes stylistic innovations in relation to Victorian liberalism Henry James famously dismissed the works which constitute Anthony Trollopes ultimate compositions for their fatal dryness of texture and mechanical movement. Taking its cue from Jamess observations while challenging his assessment, this study examines the full stylistic range of the novels and biographies which Trollope explored in his final decade, from allegory, satire, and parody, through poignancy, the classics, and paraphrasis, to character, bathos, and fantasy. Blending literary criticism with intellectual history and Frankfurt School theory, Frederik Van Dam shows how Trollopes creation of this new, impersonal aesthetic was driven by a desire to intervene in contemporary debates on topics such as suburban sociability and marginalist economics, colonialism and national sovereignty, educational and jurisprudential reforms.
