@HeerJeet Mayor of Casterbridge > Anything by Trollope
@davidfrum I might be over-rating Trollope b/c I value social information. He's less of an artist than Eliot, Hardy or even Thackeray.

@HeerJeet Right. Like saying Balzac > Flaubert or Fontane > Mann. Conceded, Trollope can be v funny. But man, he wrote a lot of crap too. -
@davidfrum No question Trollope overwrote. But aren't his parliamentary novels a kind of precursor to Patriots? - Show replies
