Description

The Kellys and the O’Kellys by Anthony Trollope

The Kellys And The O’Kellys; Or Landlords And Tenants. In his second novel, once again Trollope had made an Irish setting central to his plot. Ignored at the time of publication, and difficult to obtain in print for many years, this is a more assured and polished piece of work than The MacDermots of Ballycloran. For the first time in his writing career, he experimented with a double-plot, a device which he learnt to use with increasing expertise. The first concerns the aristocratic Fanny Wyndham. She is the ward of Lord Cashel, who, upon discovering that Fanny is heiress to her brother’s fortune, attempts to marry her off to his dissolute and debt-ridden son. However, Fanny is already engaged to (and in love with) Francis O’Kelly, Lord Ballindine. The conflict really begins when Lord Cashel demands that Fanny breaks this engagement. The second plot concerns the ill-educated Anastasia Lynch, wooed and wanted, at least to begin with, for her dowry of £400 a year by Lord Ballindine’s tenant Martin Kelly.
