Reading The American Senator | Alexandria
Read The American Senator by Anthony Trollope. Exposing transatlantic hypocrisy, a meddlesome American senator wreaks havoc in rural England, revealing uncomfortable truths about land rights, fox hunting, and social hierarchies. Trollope slyly shows how outsider perspectives can illuminate local blind spots, while upending expectations by making his foreign critic both right and ridiculously wrong - a paradox that still resonates in today's polarized discourse.
