With the publication of this volume we complete the series of Trollope's six Barsetshire novels in the Everyman Library. The Small House is perhaps Trollope's gentlest and most charming story, less satirical than its predecessors in the Barchester series, less shaded with tragic overtones then The Last Chronicle. The characters are drawn with humour and affection, the social and political landscape in which they live shrewdly etched, and the story of Lily Dale is generally agreed to be among Trollope's most successful attempts to portray the psychology of love.
