The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1860. The story revolves around the life of Mary Thorne, the daughter of a country parson, who lives in the village of Oxney Colne. Mary is a beautiful and intelligent young woman, but her social status and lack of wealth make it difficult for her to find a suitable husband.The novel explores themes of love, class, and social mobility in Victorian England. Mary falls in love with Frank Gresham, the heir to a wealthy family, but their relationship is threatened by his family's disapproval of her lower social status. Mary's uncle, Dr. Thorne, tries to help her by revealing a family secret that could change her fortunes, but this only leads to more complications.As the story unfolds, Mary must navigate the challenges of her social situation and decide whether to follow her heart or marry for financial security. Along the way, she encounters a cast of memorable characters, including the scheming Lady Arabella Gresham and the kind-hearted but socially awkward Mr. Moffat.The Parson's Daughter of Oxney Colne is a classic Victorian novel that offers a fascinating glimpse into the social norms and values of its time. Trollope's vivid characters and engaging plot make it a timeless work of literature that continues to captivate readers today.But our present story will have more to do with his daughter than with him. A pretty girl, I have said, was Patience Woolsworthy; and one, too, in many ways remarkable. She had taken her outlook into life, weighing the things which she had and those which she had not, in a manner very unusual, and, as a rule, not always desirable for a young lady. The things which she had not were very many.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
