Summary note

Arabella Trefoil, the beautiful anti-heroine of this novel, inspired Trollope to write of her, 'I wished to express the depth of my scorn for women who run down husbands.' Arabella's determination to find a rich husband is at the heart of this story and her character, though often maligned, is one of Trollope's most famous and vivid creations.
