A Victorian novel centered on an unlikely, deeply flawed protagonist

First published in 1879, Cousin Henry stands apart among Anthony Trollope’s shorter novels for placing a timid, tiresome coward at its center. The book’s interest lies in its sustained attention to a protagonist whose limitations are not softened, while the description emphasizes Trollope’s compassionate and perceptive treatment of him. This Oxford World’s Classics paperback also frames the novel with scholarly support: an expert introduction, explanatory notes, and a bibliography for further study.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in Victorian fiction and Anthony Trollope
  • Those drawn to character-centered novels about flawed or unsympathetic protagonists
  • Readers who value annotated classic editions with introductory context
