Arabella Trefoil — beautiful, broke, on her sixth fiancé and willing to lie about him to his face — is among the most scathingly observed portraits of a husband-hunting woman in Trollope, and the novel's anti-heroine. The frame is the visit of an American senator, Elias Gotobed, to the rural English town of Dillsborough — a transatlantic comedy of manners in which the senator's blunt critiques of English custom run alongside the marriage plot. The fox-hunting scenes are among the best in Trollope, which is to say among the best in English fiction. First serialized in Temple Bar, May 1876 to July 1877.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e TO-2026-120\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Trollope, Anthony","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":46459955118241,"sku":"TO-2026-120","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/7001\/0785\/files\/TO-2026-120_01_b7105cd5-759e-4f8f-a622-ac5ac2b215f2.jpg?v=1784604494","url":"https:\/\/twoorangesbooks.com\/products\/to-2026-120","provider":"Two Oranges Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
