Reviews

Van Dam's book is remarkably inclusive, quoting liberally from Trollope's works and a wide range of critics and often containing lengthy footnotes that function as miniature scholarly essays. In this way, Van Dam's own style...reveals the sociable and egalitarian instincts that he attributes to the later Trollope. -- MATTHEW SUSSMAN, The University of Sydney for Review of English Studies, Vol. 67, No. 282
