This Penguin Classics edition is edited with an introduction by Stephen Wall. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlice Vavasor cannot decide whether to marry her ambitious but violent cousin George or the upright and gentlemanly John Grey - and finds herself accepting and rejecting each of them in turn. Increasingly confused about her own feelings and unable to forgive herself for such vacillation, her situation is contrasted with that of her friend Lady Glencora - forced to marry the rising politician Plantagenet Palliser in order to prevent the worthless Burgo Fitzgerald from wasting her vast fortune. In asking his readers to pardon Alice for her transgression of the Victorian moral code, Trollope created a telling and wide-ranging account of the social world of his day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his introduction, Stephen Wall examines Trollope's skill in depicting the strengths and weaknesses of his characters, their behaviour and inner lives. This edition also includes notes and a bibliography. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAnthony Trollope (1815-82) had an unhappy childhood characterised by a stark contrast between his family's high social standing and their comparative poverty. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, but did not meet with success until the publication of the first of his 'Barsetshire novels', \u003ci\u003eThe Warden\u003c\/i\u003e (1855). As well as writing over forty novels, including such popular works as \u003ci\u003eCan You Forgive Her? \u003c\/i\u003e(1865)\u003ci\u003e, Phineas Finn \u003c\/i\u003e(1869)\u003ci\u003e, He Knew He Was Right \u003c\/i\u003e(1869) and \u003ci\u003eThe Way We Live Now\u003c\/i\u003e (1875) Trollope is credited with introducing the postbox to England. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf you enjoyed \u003ci\u003eCan You Forgive Her?\u003c\/i\u003e, you might enjoy Henry James's \u003ci\u003eThe Ambassadors\u003c\/i\u003e, also available in Penguin Classics.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnthony Trollope\u003c\/b\u003e (1815-1882) was born in London to a bankrupt barrister father and a mother who, as a well-known writer, supported the family.
