Doctor Thorne adopts his niece Mary, keeping secret her illegitimate birth as he introduces her to the best local social circles. There she meets and falls in love with Frank Gresham, heir to a vastly mortgaged estate; yet Frank is obliged to find a wealthy wife, jeopardizing Mary's happiness until fate extends an obliging hand. Where fiery passion fails, understated English virtues of patience, persistence and good humor could yet prevail in this most appealing of Trollope's (1815-82) comedies.

Anthony Trollope is one of my favorite authors. His books are not exciting adventures nor do they contain much that could be called exciting happen in them. The stories move slowly, but delightfully so. His style of writing, the expressions he uses, are unique to him, and add to the delight. We get to know the characters in the drama in a better way than most writers are able to describe them, and we come to sympathize with those people Trollope wants us to sympathize. For example, the warden is described in the book called The Warden as a very pious and extremely likeable man. We feel that what happens to him is tragic.
He wrote 47 outstanding novels as well as short stories and other writings. He published his first novel in 1847. I read and enjoyed every one of his full length novels, and they grace a prominent place on my book shelves among my 12,000 books. He lived between 1815 and 1882 and was an English writer of the Victorian period. He was a friend of Charles Dickens and Wilke Collins who also liked his books. The Warden is his most famous book. It is the book that brought him fame in 1851. It is the first of his six novels about the fictional Barsetshire which focus on the events in an imaginary county of that name. Doctor Thorne is the third volume in the six book series. It was published in 1858 when Trollope was forty-three-years old.

This was the second book I’ve read this year in my Trollope project. Like Barchester Towers and The Warden in the series, Dr. Thorne was another well-plotted romance with interesting characters and Trollope’s enjoyable humor.

In this book, Doctor Thorne has raised his niece Mary--the illegitimate offspring of Thorne’s deceased ne’r-do-well brother. Mary has grown up to be independent, intelligent, and kind, the center of life in the community. And Frank Gresham, the sole male heir of the storied Gresham estate, has naturally fallen in love with her. The problem, of course, is that Mary has neither a fortune nor a good birth. Frank is expected to marry wealth in order to save his family’s property and social status, and so the family determines to throw just about everything in the young couple’s way.

Like the other Trollope novels I’ve read recently, this one was a pure pleasure. I can’t say that I liked it as well as Barchester Towers. Doctor Thorne is a little more predictable and lacks some of the moral intrigue of that more complex story. What is is, though, is a very good, if straightforward, read. I can see how it was turned into a successful show and will eagerly look forward to the next of the Barsetshire Series.

Dr. Thorne is a country doctor whose niece Mary lives with him in Greshamsbury, a village near the ancestral home of the Gresham family. The family is teetering on the edge of complete bankruptcy, and in order to regain the house's former glory, young Frank Gresham must "marry money" even though he is in love with Mary Thorne. He gets thrown together with several "suitable" young ladies, but he is determined to marry Mary, who doesn't give him much encouragement. Meanwhile Sir Roger Scatcherd is dying and wants to change his will, leaving all his money to the eldest child of his late sister, also named Mary, if his son, Louis, dies before he is 25. Dr. Thorne is the only one aware that his niece Mary is that eldest child, and therefore stands to gain a huge inheritance if her cousin doesn't make it. You can probably guess the rest.

My big beef with this story is not how obvious the plot is, but in how overwritten it was. It was full of descriptions and side stories that didn't help the plot. And, as in many Trollope books, the whole "Frank must marry money," theme was monotonous, several of the characters had nothing more important to say but said it over and over again. I was also irritated that Mary "knew" she could never marry Frank because he had to marry a rich lady, which she was not. At times it seemed like Frank was the only rational one in this debate. In other words, it's a good thing this book wasn't called "Mary Thorne," because she is not really the heroine. Nobody is. This is definitely not Trollope at his best.

Knights from Bernin

Volume 3 in Trollope's Barchester series moves away from the intricacies of church politics and focuses on the English caste system in the mid 19th century.
The novel is called after a man whom Trollope declares as his hero: a poor country doctor with professional competence and an admirable honest stubbornness, a bachelor who lives with a lovely niece, whom he treats like a daughter. Doc Thorne is a proud man, proud to be a poor man from a high family.
The niece might be considered the real heroine. She is an illegitimate child of the Doc's late brother with a woman who emigrated with another man, leaving the girl behind. The girl's social status is that of a pariah, which begins to be relevant when men start seeing her as a woman.
She is a proud and smart person, with a mind at war with itself. She fully accepts the social ranking system that condemns her to be an underdog. She knows that she is a superior person in all other respects.
Trollope is overdoing his communication with the reader a little here. He insists on telling us that the real hero of the novel is young Frank Gresham, the local squire's only son. Frank is just growing up in the world and needs to find his way in questions of rank and preferences. He finds out that all is not well with the estate and that he better finds a way to marry money if he wants to keep up the life style that he has grown up expecting. Or are emotions more important? One has social duties as well!
The ground is thus prepared for a plot with psychological and social depth, all wrapped in satirical fun poked at pretensions and stupidity. Maybe Trollope's most Austenian novel, at least among those that I know so far.
