Description
The story sets in the honorable, imaginative church of Bowick, Victorian England, and the story line is about the most popular Dr. Wortle’s Christian seminary academy itself. The morals and standards of the society are ravished and the reputation of the school was ruined when Mr. and Mrs. Peacocke, a dignified English scholar and an American woman was employed to the seminary academy by Doctor Wortle, and is found out to be illegally married. Their marriage was fallen apart by their coincidental meeting many years before by the first husband of Mrs. Peacocke, an unkind alcoholic whose name is Colonel Ferdinand Lefroy. Upon hearing that her husband, the abusive Colonel Lefroy has died during a fight in the Civil War, the two lovers believed in good faith that it was him, they decided to get married. The book provides many different stories concerning mostly about the school’s reputation. Anthony Trollope was a British author during the Victorian period. One of his famous works is a collection of books known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which is set around the fictional county of Barsetshire. Trollope also wrote books on the basis of political, social, and gender issues, and other topical matters. The father of Anthony, Thomas Anthony Trollope, was a barrister. He was a brilliant and highly educated man and a Fellow of New College, Oxford, but sadly, he did not pass the bar examinations because of his bad attitude. He was the son of landed gentry and he wanted his sons to be gentlemen and to go to Oxford or Cambridge. Anthony Trollope was born in London and attended Harrow School as a free day pupil at the age of seven for three years. His childhood was a frustration because of the prestigious background of his parents but were extremely impoverished.
