Sinopsis

In "He Knew He Was Right," Anthony Trollope navigates the intricate web of Victorian society through the lens of obsessive love and the ramifications of jealousy. This novel, distinguished by its detailed characterizations and social commentary, reflects the complexities of human relationships and the often-punishing nature of rigid moral codes. Trollope crafts a narrative that examines the delicate balance between personal convictions and societal expectations, employing a realistic style that intertwines wit with a deep psychological insight into each character's motivations, making it a quintessential work of the 'ÄòChronicles of Barsetshire'Äô series and indicative of the broader concerns of the era. Trollope, a prolific author and keen observer of human behavior, drew upon his own experiences of love and social dynamics within the male-dominated sphere of the Victorian age. The personal turmoil he faced in his own relationships, especially regarding fidelity and trust, may have informed the intense emotional landscape portrayed in the novel. Moreover, Trollope'Äôs role as a parliamentary clerk provided him with unique insights into the societal issues of his time, enriching the narrative with authentic reflections on marriage, power, and individual rights. For readers seeking an exploration of the passionate trials of fidelity against the backdrop of societal expectations, "He Knew He Was Right" offers a compelling narrative filled with moral dilemmas and the consequences of unyielding beliefs. Trollope's brilliant prose and vivid characterizations make this novel not only a significant literary achievement but also a thought-provoking reflection on the nature of love and trust, highly recommended for those immersed in classic literature.

The Age Of Innocence

Edith Wharton

The Age of Innocence is a 1920 novel by American author Edith Wharton. It was her twelfth novel and was initially serialized in 1920 in four parts, in the magazine Pictorial Review. Later that year, it was released as a book by D. Appleton & Company. It won the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making Wharton the first woman to win the prize. 
 
Though the committee had initially agreed to give the award to Sinclair Lewis for Main Street, the judges, in rejecting his book on political grounds, "established Wharton as the American 'First Lady of Letters'". The story is set in the 1870s, in upper-class, "Gilded Age" New York City. Wharton wrote the book in her 50s, after she was already established as a major author in high demand by publishers.

Haunted House The (Unabridged)

Charles Dickens

"The Haunted House" is a story series published in 1859 for the weekly periodical All the Year Round. It was "Conducted by Charles Dickens", with Charles Dickens writing the opening and closing stories, framing stories by Dickens himself and five other authors.
The story appeared in the Extra Christmas Number on 13 December 1859. Dickens began a tradition of Christmas publications with A Christmas Carol in 1843 and his Christmas stories soon became a national institution. The Haunted House was his 1859 offering.
In Dickens's opening story, The Mortals in the House, the narrator's ("John") health "required a temporary residence in the country." Knowing this, a friend of the narrator had chanced to drive by the house-situated close to a railroad stop mid-way between Northern England and London-and had written to the narrator suggesting he travel down from the North and look the place over. It was a large mid-eighteenth-century manor house on two square acres with a "sadly neglected garden," recently cheaply repaired, and "much too closely and heavily shadowed by trees." The house itself is "stiff ... cold ... [and] formal" and "in as bad taste, as could possibly be desired by the most loyal admirer of the whole quartet of [King] Georges." It was "ill-placed, ill-built, ill-planned, and ill-fitted." It was "damp ... not free from dry rot" and redolent with the "flavour of rats."

The Wilful Woman

D H Lawrence

‘The Wilful Woman’ was written by D H Lawrence in 1922. 'The Wilful Woman' remained unfinished and so the tough, spoiled, rich American woman, used to having her own way, does not get the nemesis Lawrence may have had in mind for her. Whether it was the Wordsworthian lessons of nature as she battles her way through the American wilderness or the harder lessons of a waiting husband who may or may not want her, we will never know.
