Miss Mackenzie

Resumen del libro

MISS MACKENZIE (1865) by Anthony Trollope is the story of "a very unattractive old maid" as the author originally called her. But Trollope must have changed his mind in the writing, because the steadfast and sensible heroine comes across as highly sympathetic to the reader, and once again the subject of love is inescapable.

Miss Mackenzie, a spinster long past her first bloom, with the sudden possibility of a fortune, is beset by suitors and personal choices.

A deft exploration of money, love, and relationships by a master of sensibility, caricature, and the social mores of his time.

Biografía del autor

Oscurecido por otros escritores de la época victoriana como Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins o las hermanas Brontë, Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) fue sumamente popular y apreciado en su época y aguanta en pie de igualdad la comparación con cualquiera de ellos. En sus novelas, como en las de Jane Austen, se puede apreciar un penetrante conocimiento de su época y de las pasiones y resortes que mueven la naturaleza humana.
