The Landleaguers

Trollope's last novel, complete with boycotts, tenant uprisings, and murders, set in Ireland and England of the 1880s. The Landleaguers, with its realistic depiction of terrorism, seems to despair of Ireland's future. There is a subplot involving the daughter of an American supporter of the Irish campaign against the English; the daughter has come to London to further her career and there are sexual intrigues there.
