In this world of bribes, vendettas, and swindling, in which heiresses are gambled and won, Trollope’s characters embody all the vices: Lady Carbury is ‘false from head to foot’; her son Felix has ‘the instincts of a horse, not approaching the higher sympathies of a dog’; and Melmotte - the colossal figure who dominates the book - is a ‘horrid, big, rich scoundrel…a bloated swindler…a vile city ruffian’. But as vile as he is, he is considered one of Trollope’s greatest creations.

Trollope’s highly regarded satire is about the dishonest and villainous financier, Augustus Melmotte, who captivates and buys his way into the corrupt aristocratic society of London, throwing it into turmoil.
