Miller enthusiastically reread Doctor Thorne, the third book in the Barsetshire series, before she viewed the film. So I was thrilled to find a link in an email to Laura Miller’s essay at Slate on Julian Fellowes’ new TV adaptation of Trollope’s Doctor Thorne.

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” In my twenties I binge-read the Palliser series and the Barsetshire novels then I discovered two of his most powerful novels, The Way We Live Now and He Knew He Was Right and in the last ten years have read most of the others.

Oh, Anthony Trollope! I’m besotted with you.
