Louis Trevelyan seems the most fortunate of mid-Victorian gentlemen: young, rich, well-educated, handsome, and with a beautiful wife. But his life is ruined by ungrounded jealousy. In the sub-plot dealing with the marriages of his English and American heroines, Trollope engages head-on the issue of women's rights, a topic which was as alive for his contemporaries of the late 1860's as it is today. And in the person of Miss Jemima Stanbury, the virtuous dragon of Exeter Cathedral Close, Trollope created one of his most notable comic characters.
