Home / The Way We Live Now
The Way We Live Now is a scathing satirical novel published in
London in 1875 by Anthony Trollope, after a popular serialisation. It was
regarded by many of Trollope's contemporaries as his finest work.
One of his longest novels (it contains a hundred chapters), The Way We
Live Now is particularly rich in sub-plot. It was inspired by the financial
scandals of the early 1870s, and lashes at the pervading dishonesty of the age,
commercial, political, moral, and intellectual. It is one of the last
significant Victorian novels to have been published in monthly parts.
