Description
Anthony Trollope's He Knew He Was Right is a deeply troubled marriage pitted against the enduring power of love. On a visit to the Mandarin Islands, Louis Trevelyan falls in love with Emily and they are swiftly married, but his jealousy soon consumes him, driving him to desperate actions. This novel created by Anthony Trollope is a highly sympathetic portrait of a collapsing marriage and a compelling psychological story of obsession. Frank Kermode's introduction provides context on Victorian attitudes to courtship and marriage, drawing parallels with Shakespeare's Othello. Edited with an introduction by Frank Kermode in Penguin Classics, this edition includes a new chronology, bibliography, and notes, offering insight into Trollope's life and works.
