Can You Forgive Her? is a novel by Anthony Trollope. It is the first of six novels in the "Palliser" series. The novel follows three parallel stories of courtship and marriage and the decisions of three strong women: Alice Vavasor, her cousin Glencora Palliser, and her aunt Arabella Greenow. Early on, Alice asks the question "What should a woman do with her life?" This theme repeats itself in the dilemmas faced by the other women in the novel. Lady Glencora and her husband Plantagenet Palliser recur in the remainder of the Palliser series. Alice Vavasor, a young woman of twenty-four, is engaged to the wealthy and respectable and dependable, if unambitious and bland, John Grey. She had previously been engaged to her cousin George, but she broke it off after he went through a wild period. John, trusting in his love, makes only the slightest protest of Alice's planned tour of Switzerland with her cousin Kate, George's sister, even when he learns George is to go with them as male protector. Influenced by the romance of Switzerland, Kate's contriving to restore George to Alice's favour, and her own misgivings with John's shortcomings, Alice jilts her second fiancé…. Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Some of his best-loved works, collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, revolve around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote perceptive novels on political, social, and gender issues, and on other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life, but he regained the esteem of critics by the mid-twentieth century.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 'Can You Forgive Her ', Anthony Trollope delves into the complex emotional lives of his characters, particularly the spirited and indecisive Alice Vavasor. This masterpiece of Victorian literature illustrates themes of love, social expectations, and the consequences of choice, all while employing Trollope's characteristic wit and keen psychological insight. The narrative unfolds with a richly woven style, employing multifaceted characters that challenge the strict societal norms of the period. The novel reflects the uncertainties of the 1860s, exploring the intricacies of marriage and personal autonomy against the backdrop of a rapidly changing society. Trollope, a prolific author and keen observer of contemporary life, draws from his own experiences in a society rife with rigid class structures and gender roles. His background in the Church of England and his tenure as a civil servant likely imparted a nuanced understanding of morality and societal pressures. These lived experiences inform the ethical dilemmas faced by Alice and her peers, making the narrative a poignant exploration of human motivations and relationships. This enduring work is a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of 19th-century literature, as it offers not only a critical examination of societal norms but also a profound exploration of the human condition. Trollope's intricate storytelling invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of forgiveness and the complexity of personal choices. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9788026891390
