Produktbeschreibung
The Eustace Diamonds, third of Trollope's Palliser novels (1873), centers on Lizzie Eustace, a beguiling widow who clings to a contested family necklace she insists was a gift, though lawyers deem it an heirloom. Around this object Trollope stages legal skirmishes, social maneuvering, and a theft, blending omniscient irony with the pacing of sensation fiction à la Wilkie Collins. Contrasted with the principled Lucy Morris and vacillating suitors-Frank Greystock, Lord Fawn-Lizzie's romanticism exposes Victorian anxieties about property, marriage, and truthfulness. Trollope's career in the Post Office honed observational discipline; his Palliser series draws on Westminster politics. Composed during debates around the Married Women's Property Act of 1870, the novel channels contemporary legal ambiguities into plot. Trollope both satirizes and studies the culture of acquisitiveness, refining techniques of free indirect discourse and the serial installment to examine how law, journalism, and gossip adjudicate female reputation. Readers of Victorian fiction, legal drama, and psychological satire will find The Eustace Diamonds absorbing and incisive, a work that also stands alone within the Palliser cycle. Its supple narration, morally intricate characters, and unresolved mysteries invite both pleasure and analysis, making it an ideal text for studies of gender, property, and the novel's evolution. 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.
