The Landleaguers (The ^AWorld's Classics)

The Landleaguers, Trollope's last novel, is set in Ireland during the Land War of the early 1880s. It is both a documentary record, closely following events in Westminster and the Irish countryside, and a meditative fantasy. Mary Hamer's introduction provides an historically-based reading of the subplot and relates it to Trollope's own personal stake in the crisis between England and Ireland.
