The Small House at Allington is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1864. The novel is set in the fictional English village of Allington and tells the story of the Dale family, particularly the two sisters, Bell and Lily. Bell is engaged to her childhood friend, the wealthy and respectable Bernard Dale, while Lily is courted by two suitors, the handsome and charming Adolphus Crosbie and the honorable and dependable John Eames.The novel explores themes of love, marriage, class, and societal expectations. It also delves into the complexities of family relationships and the consequences of personal choices. As the story unfolds, the characters must navigate their own desires and the expectations of those around them, leading to both heartache and unexpected joy.Trollope's writing style is characterized by his attention to detail and his ability to create complex, nuanced characters. The Small House at Allington is no exception, with its vivid descriptions of the English countryside and its portrayal of the intricacies of human relationships. The novel has been praised for its realism and its exploration of the social and emotional realities of Victorian England.Overall, The Small House at Allington is a compelling and insightful novel that offers a glimpse into the complexities of love and society in nineteenth-century England.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.
