Reading Doctor Thorne | Alexandria
Read Doctor Thorne by Anthony Trollope. Scheming to marry off a beloved illegitimate daughter to save her from ruin, Dr. Thorne conceals a shocking secret: she's heir to a massive fortune. Trollope's unconventional tale upends Victorian morality by showing how "good breeding" often masks greed, while true nobility emerges from unlikely sources - revealing how wealth corrupts, yet money's power paradoxically enables moral redemption.
