He Knew He Was Right is a novel written by the renowned English author, Anthony Trollope. It was first published in 1869 and is considered one of Trollope's most famous works. The story revolves around the marital discord between Louis Trevelyan, a wealthy and ambitious young man, and his wife Emily, a beautiful and devoted woman. Louis becomes convinced that Emily is having an affair with his friend Colonel Osborne, and his jealousy and paranoia leads him to take drastic measures, including separating from his wife and trying to gain custody of their son. Meanwhile, Emily is forced to navigate the Victorian social norms and expectations that limit her options and agency. The novel explores themes of marriage, gender roles, power dynamics, and the destructive force of jealousy and suspicion. Trollope's masterful characterizations and vivid descriptions of Victorian society make He Knew He Was Right a compelling and thought-provoking read.I have said that nobody is to be admitted. Louis has driven me to that. How can I look the servant in the face and tell him that any special gentleman is not to be admitted to see me? Oh dear! oh dear! have I done anything to deserve it? Was ever so monstrous an accusation made against any woman! If it were not for my boy, I would defy him to do his worst.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
