Is He Popenjoy? is a novel written by Anthony Trollope and originally published in 1878. The story follows the lives of two families, the Germaines and the Longstaffes, who become intertwined through the marriage of Lord George Germaine and Lady Sarah Longstaffe. However, their happiness is short-lived as a question arises about the legitimacy of Lady Sarah's child, Popenjoy. This leads to a bitter dispute between the families, with each side fighting to prove their claim to the title and inheritance of Popenjoy. As the legal battle unfolds, the characters are forced to confront their own beliefs and values, and the novel ultimately explores themes of family, inheritance, and the corrupting influence of power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
