Publisher's Synopsis
In this classic tale, author Anthony Trollope dares to question: can it be right to persist in a bigamous marriage?
Mr. Peacocke, a classical scholar, has come to Broughtonshire with his beautiful American wife to live as a schoolmaster. But when the blackmailing brother of her first husband--a reprobate from Louisiana--appears at the school gates, their dreadful secret is revealed and the county is scandalized.
With its scathing depiction of American manhood, its jousting with convention, and its amiable, egotistical protagonist, Dr. Wortle's School is one of the sharpest and most engaging of Trollope's later novels.
This novel is part of Brilliance Audio's extensive Classic Collection, bringing you timeless masterpieces that you and your family are sure to love.
