Zusatztext McCourt has produced a captivating and valuable tool for the study of a part of Trollopes life and work that has hitherto been overlooked. In addition, he offers a particular and personalized look at Irish-English relations during the Victorian period through the eyes of a writer who lived on both sides of the sea. McCourt nicely balances literary criticism and historical context to present a clear picture of Trollope, Ireland, and the connection between the two.
