He Knew He Was Right is a novel by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1869. The story revolves around the marital troubles of Louis Trevelyan, a wealthy and respected gentleman who becomes convinced that his wife Emily is having an affair with Colonel Osborne, a family friend. Despite Emily's protestations of innocence, Louis becomes increasingly paranoid and controlling, eventually driving his wife away and causing a rift with his family and friends.As Louis becomes more and more isolated, he becomes fixated on proving his suspicions about Emily's infidelity, even as evidence to the contrary begins to mount. Meanwhile, Emily struggles to rebuild her life and reputation, facing prejudice and social ostracism as a result of her husband's accusations.The novel explores themes of jealousy, pride, and the destructive power of suspicion, as well as the role of women in Victorian society and the limitations placed on them by their gender. Trollope's nuanced characters and insightful social commentary 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.
