Abstract
The essay will look at Anthony Trollope’s adulterous Irish texts, examining how Trollope challenges both the traditional forms of the novel and the standard ideologies of marriage in Victorian society. Particular emphasis is placed on the theme of marriage as an allegory of the contested political Union between Ireland and England.
