Reading Harry Heathcote of Gangoil | Alexandria
Read Harry Heathcote of Gangoil by Anthony Trollope. Battling a ruthless arsonist in the Australian outback, Harry Heathcote's tale upends colonial narratives by revealing how isolation—not community—forges true character. Trollope brilliantly subverts Victorian ideals, showing how the harsh wilderness exposes both nobility and savagery in equal measure, challenging assumptions about civilization's veneer.
