£30.00
A first Folio Society edition, first printing of The Landleaguers by Anthony Trollope, published by The Folio Society, London in 1995, with introduction by Frank Delaney and illustrations by Val Biro.

In green paper bound slip case.
Originally published in 1883, The Landleaguers by Anthony Trollope is his final, unfinished novel, set in 19th century Ireland during the turbulent Land War. It explores the conflict between Irish tenant farmers and English landlords through a blend of romance, politics and social commentary. Trollope portrays the tensions and violence of the time with sympathy for both sides, though critics note a pro-landlord bias. Despite its incomplete state, the novel offers insight into Irish struggles and Trollope’s evolving views on imperial policy.
