The Claverings examines the traffic between love, money, and reputation through Harry Clavering's wavering between his loyal fiancée, Florence Burton, and Julia Brabazon-now the widowed and rumor-haunted Lady Ongar, who once married for wealth. Shuttling from a decaying country house to London's counting rooms, Trollope offers a cool, exact social realism.

Produktbeschreibung
The Claverings examines the traffic between love, money, and reputation through Harry Clavering's wavering between his loyal fiancée, Florence Burton, and Julia Brabazon-now the widowed and rumor-haunted Lady Ongar, who once married for wealth. Shuttling from a decaying country house to London's counting rooms, Trollope offers a cool, exact social realism. An omniscient, wry narrator probes motive and duty, while the 1860s taste for "sensation" (compromising letters, predatory intriguers) is tempered by everyday plausibility and moral scrutiny. Anthony Trollope, veteran Post Office official and indefatigable traveler, wrote from intimate knowledge of bureaucracy, mobility, and the ethics of work. His skepticism toward idle privilege and respect for earned vocation shape Harry's dilemma and the sturdy probity of the Burton family. Composed with the disciplined routine later detailed in his Autobiography and serialized in the Cornhill, the novel borrows the era's thrills only to test them against character. Best for readers of Eliot or Thackeray, The Claverings offers lucid pleasures: incisive moral analysis, vivid women, and a quietly devastating portrait of gentlemanly weakness. Choose it for its wise debate over love, money, and work. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Author Biography · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
