Gifted rent-free by the bachelor Squire of Allington, Christopher Dale, this charming home becomes the backdrop for a complex web of courtship and rivalry. As the fifth installment in the Chronicles of Barsetshire, Trollope introduces us to the ambitious Plantagenet Palliser, who finds himself embroiled in the romantic entanglements of Lady Dumbello, while the lives of the young and earnest John Eames and his fellow boarders unfold in a bustling London boarding house. Here, the landladys alluring daughter, Miss Amelia Roper, schemes to draw Eames into a precarious marriage, and a love triangle emerges among the residents. With echoes of Dickensian charm, Trollope masterfully navigates themes of emotional turmoil, generational conflict, and the complexities of love and indecision. Not to be missed is the unforgettable scene of a bull attack, a testament to Trollopes prowess in Victorian storytelling. (Edited by N K Whitley from the Wikipedia entry for the novel, which contains a more detailed account of the plot.)]]></description><atom:link href="https://www.spreaker.com/show/6887614/episodes/feed" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><language>en</language><category>Fiction</category><copyright>Copyright 19th and 20th Century Fiction</copyright><image><url>https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/8bc994a88c22e12bf2b37548ba74287f.jpg</url><title>Small House at Allington (version 2)</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/small-house-at-allington-version-2--6887614</link></image><lastBuildDate>Tue, 25 Aug 2026 09:27:27 +0000</lastBuildDate><itunes:author>Anthony Trollope</itunes:author><itunes:owner><itunes:name>19th and 20th Century Fiction</itunes:name><itunes:email>spreaker28@adfreesounds.com</itunes:email></itunes:owner><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/8bc994a88c22e12bf2b37548ba74287f.jpg"/><itunes:subtitle>Dive into the intriguing world of The Small House at Allington, a captivating tale of the widowed Mrs. Dale and her daughters, Isabella (Bell) and Lilian (Lily), who reside in the quaint Small House.
