Dickens and Trollope on character insight and hunting lore
Anthony Trollope rarely engaged with his characters. Dickens offered precise guidance on character voices, while Marcus Stone recalls learning from Dickens about Our Mutual Friend and Great Expectations. The piece also notes a shift in weaponry in late Tudor to early modern hunting, with Maximilian praised for crossbow accuracy and strict poaching controls. It closes with brief curiosities about Major Lawrie and a Baltimore society under $2000, and a Chicago News juvenile tale about Mayflower pride and a child’s sleep.
