About this book
The Way They Lived Then, by Taylor Prewitt, is about Serious Interviews, Strong Women, and Lessons for Life in the Novels of Anthony Trollope. The contents list gives, among others, The Warden, Barchester Towers, Doctor Thorne and Framley Parsonage. The text says much depended on birth in the Victorian world, and that the eldest son, by right of birth, got it all.
The text says Trollope's own interest in politics evidenced itself in the glorification of an ambition to serve in Parliament, and that he was disgusted by rotten boroughs and the corrupt practices of buying votes. The text says we are introduced to Miss Mackenzie as a Cinderella-type woman who devotes herself to the care of her brother for fifteen years until he dies. The text says an attorney, going through family legal documents, explained that heirs of his body was an archaic usage derived from old English law.
