Publisher's Synopsis
Sir Harry Hotspur of Humblethwaite (1871) by Anthony Trollope is a British Victorian novel of family relationships, centered around the question of who is to inherit the property and fortune of the Hotspurs of Humblethwaite, when the young heir suddenly dies and there is only a marriageable daughter.
In classic Trollope fashion, this is a romance and an intrigue, filled with warm touches of humor, a sharp portrait of social mores, and the eventual comeuppance of scoundrels who come to light.
