Dr. Thorne is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1858. The book is part of the Chronicles of Barsetshire series and is set in the fictional county of Barsetshire. The story revolves around the life of Dr. Thomas Thorne, a kind-hearted and respected physician who lives in the small town of Greshamsbury. Dr. Thorne is a man of humble origins and is known for his integrity, compassion, and dedication to his patients.The plot of the novel follows the lives of the Gresham family, who are the local aristocrats, and their relationship with Dr. Thorne. The Greshams are facing financial difficulties, and their only hope is for their son, Frank, to marry into a wealthy family. However, Frank falls in love with Mary Thorne, Dr. Thorne's niece, who is of unknown parentage and has no fortune.The novel explores themes of class, love, and social hierarchy. Trollope portrays the struggles of the Gresham family as they try to maintain their status in society and the difficulties faced by Dr. Thorne and Mary as they navigate the prejudices of the upper class.Overall, Dr. Thorne is a classic Victorian novel that offers a vivid portrait of life in rural England during the mid-19th century. Trollope's skillful characterization and insightful commentary on society make this book a timeless masterpiece.Dr. Thorne belonged to a family in one sense as good, and at any rate as old, as that of Mr Gresham; and much older, he was apt to boast, than that of the De Courcys. This trait in his character is mentioned first, as it was the weakness for which he was most conspicuous. He was second cousin to Mr Thorne of Ullathorne, a Barsetshire squire living in the neighbourhood of Barchester.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
