Trollope, Anthony: The Claverings. V1. 21 Apr 2013
Since its first appearance in 1867, The Claverings has been acclaimed as one of Trollope's most concentrated and successful portrayals of mid-Victorian life. Harry Clavering is perhaps the first well-born Victorian hero to choose a career in civil engineering; like Joseph Locke and the Stephensons, he wants to transform the world with railways and bridges. Julia Brabazon, his first love, declines to face financial hardship with him, and jilts him for a wealthy, dissipated, and decrepit nobleman, Lord Ongar. Two years later, a rich young widow, she reappears and forces Harry Clavering to choose between the comforts of a moneyed wife and the honourable course of marrying his fiancée, Florence Burton, and pursuing his avowed career.
