THE KELLYS AND THE OKELLYS - ANTHONY TROLLOPE T...

This work set in Ireland  provides a much local touch as it tells the story of Martin Kelly and
the woman he wants to marry. One of the favorite themes of English novelists of the Victorian
era  Anthony Trollope runs all through the novel  that is  the pursuit of money for its own
sake and the victory of pure sentiments over such greed. The Kellys and the O'Kellys also
presents to us many of Trollope's fixations  such as hunting  racing  and gambling. Here we
have Trollope's initial attempt at portraying a great country house. From creating some
unforgettable characters to sketching the scenes perfectly  Trollope has done it all in this
work. The author has also included the political events of the time  the Repeal movement in
Ireland and the trial of Daniel O'Connor  as a backdrop to the central plot. This is the first
time in his career that he experimented with a double-plot  a device which he later learned to
use with expertise.
