Product Description

Product Description

(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)

Anthony Trollope's celebrated Parliamentary novels, of which The Eustace Diamonds (1873) is the third and most famous, are at once unfailingly amusing social comedies, melodramas of greed and deception, and precise nature studies of the political animal in its mid-Victorian habitat. With its purloined jewels, its conniving, resilient, mercenary heroine, and its partiality for the human spectacle in all its complexity, The Eustace Diamonds is a splendid example of Trollope's art at its most assured. --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, attention-grabbing, BEST READ!!, Jul 31 2002
This review is from: Penguin Classics Eustace Diamonds (Paperback)
Lucy Morris is a bore. If you like Jane Austen you will like this novel! It has all the necessary ingredients to keep you turning the pages. It's fun and charming to read just like its heroine Lizzie Eustace. Trollope argues that she is no heroine at all but it is when she appears that your interest is held the longest and that you laugh the loudest. She is wicked and selfish and vain and yet childike spoiled and that's what makes her great. Lucy Morris in comparison bores you with her goodness and her morality and her prim and proper attitude which although greatly admired in 19th century women leaves her nonetheless dull and insipid in comparison to charmingly wicked Lizzie.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Diamond, Jun 27 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Eustace Diamonds (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
It is hard to choose my favorite Trollope but this is definitely right at the top of my list. It has everything a novel needs to pique your interest and keep you turning the pages--love, intrique, mystery, jealousy. It is a must read for a Trollope reader. And do yourself a favor. If you have kids, introduce them to this prince.

5.0 out of 5 stars An equal among Victorian authors, Jun 10 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Penguin Classics Eustace Diamonds (Paperback)
It's a pity that such a well reknown writer of the Victorian era is so erased and forgotten in our days. Read Trollope, he's an equal unto Forster and Austen.
