Upon its publication in 1832, Domestic Manners of the Ameri-cans instantly caused a storm of controversy. A sometimes scathing, often witty, beautifully written account of the foibles and failings of America as Fanny Trollope saw it, Domestic Manners was, however, roundly applauded across Europe. Banned in the U.S. for almost 100 years, it has since become a well loved as a piece of literary history on those shores, even amongst the countrymen, the children and grandchildren of those it once gently taunted.

A subtle classic, Dr. Thorne, the third book of the Barchester series, is regarded by many as the finest of his works. Described by P.D. James as both ‘subtly drawn’ and ‘beautifully illustrated’, the narrative of this tale focuses more upon the county families of the region than the clerics of the earlier volumes. We follow the story of Mary Thorne, niece of eponymous doctor, as love and social propriety clash. A beautiful and timeless piece of literature, the insights of such a work have lost none of there power over time.
