The Small House at Allington is a novel by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1864. It is the fifth book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series, but can also be read as a standalone work. The novel is set in the fictional county of Barsetshire and revolves around the lives of the inhabitants of the small village of Allington.The story primarily focuses on the Dale family, who live in the Small House at Allington. The two sisters, Lily and Bell, are both in love with the same man, Adolphus Crosbie, who is a charming but unscrupulous young man. Crosbie is engaged to Lily, but he breaks off the engagement and marries a wealthy widow instead, leaving Lily heartbroken. Meanwhile, Bell falls in love with John Eames, a young man who has been in love with her for years, but she is hesitant to accept his proposal as she is still in love with Crosbie.The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and social class. Trollope's writing is known for its detailed characterizations and realistic depictions of Victorian society. The Small House at Allington is considered one of his most popular and enduring works, and is often praised for its vivid descriptions of rural life and its complex portrayal of human relationships.Such young men are often awkward, ungainly, and not yet formed in their gait; they straggle with their limbs, and are shy; words do not come to them with ease, when words are required, among any but their accustomed associates. Social meetings are periods of penance to them, and any appearance in public will unnerve them. They go much about alone, and blush when women speak to them. In truth, they are not as yet men, whatever the number may be of their years; and, as they are no longer boys, the world has found for them the ungraceful name of hobbledehoy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
