Arabella Trefoil, the beautiful anti-heroine of this novel, inspired Trollope to write of her, I wished to express the depth of my scorn for women who run down husbands. Arabella's determination to find a rich husband is at the heart of this story and her character, though often maligned, isone of Trollope's most famous and vivid creations. | The American Senator by Anthony Trollope, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
