The Way We Live Now

on BBC Radio 4 FM

by ANTHONY TROLLOPE dramatised in eight parts by DAVID SPENSER
At the end of 1872 Trollope returned to England after being abroad for 18 months. He was disgusted at the state of society. In a rage, he wrote this novel as an onslaught on the vices he saw - dishonesty so magnificent in its proportions that it became splendid, the intrigues of girls who wanted to get married, the luxury of young men who preferred to remain single and authors who cheated the public into buying their volumes.
