Summary

When Louis Trevelyan's young wife meets an old family acquaintance, his unreasonable jealousy of their friendship sparks a quarrel that leads to a brutal and tragic estrangement.

Often considered to be his masterpiece, Anthony Trollope's 1869 novel explores the themes of marriage, love, and the rights of women in 19th-century England.

With a cast of independent, forceful characters and lively subplots, Trollope creates a penetrating and often comic dissection of the mores of Victorian society.

"He Knew He Was Right" is a tragic and humorous examination of the institution of marriage in mid-Victorian England. The major themes have contemporary relevance, and the stories and characters are beautifully crafted. Nigel Patterson's reading is of the highest quality, giving life to the characters and with a convincing narration. Trollope regarded this novel as a failure, but it stands favourable comparison with his major works.
