Description
Anthony Trollope's The Way We Live Now (1875) satirizes Victorian greed and moral bankruptcy. Augustus Melmotte, a corrupt foreign-born financier, settles in London and tries to enter society. Lady Carbury, a widow and the mother of Felix and Henrietta, plans to marry off her son to Melmotte's daughter so as to lessen her family's financial difficulties.
