Book excerpt: The title of this four-volume set is accurate, and the following description gives only a small sense of the scope and detail of this scholarly labor of love. The first two volumes comprise a survey of all 47 novels written by Trollope (1815-1882), with chapter-by-chapter plot summaries and lists of characters identified in Trollope's works and arranged in hierarchical importance. The third volume gives similar treatment to short stories, sketches, and plays and includes a glossary covering the entire oeuvre and a series of 17 indexes, among other materials. Trollope's nonfiction pieces are treated in Volume 4, arranged by subject, followed by an extensive "Topicon," which constitutes a topical concordance to Trollope's works. Newlin's affiliation is not stated, but his involvement and expertise, of course, are plainly evident; he has prepared this reference for an audience of like mind.
