         <h1>Reading Trollope for the first time</h1>
         <br>
-<p>After years and years of seeing Trollope books in used bookstores and being like “I should read those someday,” I finally read <i>The Claverings</i> in October 2024. I chose this specific book to be my foray into Trollope because it was a standalone book (not part of a larger series like the Chronicles of Barsetshire) and the plot seemed similar to the kind of stuff I already like in Victorian literature (basically, marriage plot with a twist). While I’m glad I read the book and enjoyed parts of it, I found it overlong and depressingly patriarchal. I’m honestly surprised by the rave reviews on Goodreads.

 <p><i>The Claverings</i> was initially serialized in Cornhill magazine from 1866-1867. I’ve read a lot of books that were originally serialized, but this one felt especially overlong. It contained lots of plot recaps and unnecessary plot filler. </p>
