The Duke's Children Complete: Extended edition (Oxford World's Classics)

The Duke's Children is a masterpiece of Victorian fiction that explores the complex relationships between fathers and sons, as well as the challenges of change in both the young and old.

The novel follows the story of the Duke of Omnium, who must navigate his children's calamitous romantic attachments, school expulsions, and vast gambling debts after the sudden death of his wife.

Despite the challenges, the Duke is proud when his eldest child and heir, Lord Silverbridge, embarks upon a political career, but he grapples with heartache as Silverbridge becomes a Conservative rather than a Liberal, flouting the family tradition.

With remarkable subtlety, Trollope cuts to the heart of the father-son relationship in this piercing and often humorous exploration of change.

Don't miss out on this classic novel that has been restored to its original form after being edited by the American scholar Steven Amarnick.
