 | Dr. Wortle's School by Anthony Trollope, Flo Gibson, Mick Imlah
The Rev. Mr. Peacock marries Ella Lefroy, both of them believing her to be a widow, and the two become teachers at Dr. Wortle's school for boys. Ella's brother-in-law turns up to blackmail them, claiming that Ella's husband is still alive and she is therefore a bigamist. Trollope wrote this novel in 22 days, during a series of snowstorms in Northhamptonshire where he and his wife were visiting. The plot gave Trollope the opportunity to defend the idea of divorce, a sentiment that sprang partly from his friendship with George Eliot, whose longtime lover G. H. Lewes was unable to get a divorce from his wife. AUTHOR: Anthony Trollope, Flo Gibson, Mick Imlah
