Title: Young Love

Author and Title: Frances Milton Trollope. Young Love: A Novel

First Edition: London: Henry Colburn, 1844. 3 volumes, post 8vo., 31s. 6d.

Summary: A scheming impoverished beauty sets her sights on vain and severely petted heir, Alfred Dermont. A reverse May-December married couple with enthusiastic Unitarian beliefs provides an opportunity for satire, which Trollope perhaps meant to, but never fully follows through on. (LP)
