Commentary Toward Books Dr. Thorne (Chronicles of Barsetshire #3)

An alternate cover edition for this ISBN can be found here. 'You must give up this mad idea, Frank ... there is but one course left open to you. You MUST marry money' Doctor Thorne, considered by Trollope to be the best of his works, is a telling examination of the relationship between money and morality. It recounts the story of the son of a bankrupt landowner, Frank Gresham, who is intent on marrying his beloved Mary Thorne despite her illegitimacy and apparent poverty. Frank's ambitious mother and haughty aunt are set against the match, however, and push him to make a good marriage to a wealthy heiress. Only Mary's loving uncle, Dr Thorne, knows of the fortune she is about to inherit - but believes she should be accepted on her own terms. The third book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire.

Rate Regarding Books Dr. Thorne (Chronicles of Barsetshire #3)

It's official: I am totally smitten with Anthony Trollope.

I am helpless against the charm of entertaining and cute suspenseful plots of Victorian young adults in love but struggling against overwhelming class disapproval of their relationships, despite the obvious irritations to me about the treatment of women and the assumed virtues in maintaining the English class system by the characters in 'Doctor Thorne', third novel in the Barsetshire series. Since the story takes place (and was written) in 1858 England about characters in a conservative farming

Another very enjoyable book (the third) in Trollope's "Barsetshire" series. However, the second in the series seemed to me to have more plot lines while "Doctor Thorne" had a singular one: "Frank must marry money." Still, it's amazing to me that Trollope kept me entertained all through this volume's 700+ pages. But his writing is just beautiful and smart and funny and consistent and smooth. And Trollope has a unique and grounded way to fully describe his characters so that we immediately know so

When I moved to Singapore 20 years ago, one of the things that surprised me the most was how openly people there discussed what things cost. Upon seeing that a colleague wore a new watch, 'How much, lah?' was the likeliest comment. At first, this attitude made me uncomfortable, but after a few years traveling in Asia I got used to, and actually appreciated, that frankness.Trollope doesn't treat cold economic reality as a taboo subject either, and although it probably caused a whiff of vulgarity

Entering the realm of Trollope is a magical experience. The writing is exquisite with waves of vocabulary and lingering sentences that virtually have their own linguistic flavor. It transports you to the realm of Barsetshire in mid-19th century England, and the midst of a number of personalities that you will literally live with as hundreds of pages unfold. Trollope has the power to place one (as a reader) among these individuals, sharing sorrows, happiness, conflicts, thoughts and daily lives.

Ah yes, book 3 of the Chronicles of Baretshire and we meet a whole new cast of characters and some wonderful wit from this prolific author who was a contemporary of Dickens. Baretshire is a 6-book series set in the imaginary county of Baretshire and in this book we deal with the Dr. Thorne's family along with those of local county squire Frank Gresham. Lots of family history here as well as a very good representation of the 1850's in England, a time when "blood" mattered more in matrimonial
