Ralph the Heir by Anthony Trollope

One Ralph Newton is a ne'er-do-well; the other is illegitimate. One must inherit the family property, but will social convention triumph over just deserts? Rich in hunting senes, love plots, and Radical politics, this tale of crossed inheritance combines the darker hues and confident social criticism of Trollope's later writing with passages of autobiography and broad comedy. This is the only annotated student edition available. This book is intended for general, Trollope fans, students of Victorian literature, and the Victorian legal scene.
