DR. THORNE, third in the Barsetshire Chronicles, is the tale of Frank Gresham and Mary Thorne, a couple intent on marriage despite Mary's poverty. Only the doctor knows that Mary is to inherit a large legacy, one that will make her acceptable to the sniffish middle class of which Frank is a card-carrying member.
Frank and Mary are two of the author's most attractive characters and, in a story that satisfies both their personal desires and the materialistic aspirations of society, Trollope has created one of his happiest novels.
The Barsetshire Chronicles include THE WARDEN, BARCHESTER TOWERS, DR. THORNE, FRAMLEY PARSONAGE, THE SMALL HOUSE AT ALLINGTON and THE LAST CHRONICLE OF BARSET.

About the Author
Anthony Trollope (24 April 1815- 6 December 1882) was one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Some of his best-loved works, the Chronicles of Barsetshire, revolve around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. Simon Dentith is a former President of the British Association for Victorian Studies, and he has published widely on nineteenth-century topics. He is the editor of Trollope's Phineas Finn in Oxford World's Classics, and his books include Epic and Empire in Nineteenth-Century Britain (2006).
