On re-reading Trollope

[摘要] The first time I read Trollope's Barsetshire novels was not long after I completed my English degree. At the time I had no particular knowledge of, or interest in, medicine or general practice, other than as a patient. On returning to Doctor Thorne1 a few weeks ago, I was fascinated to discover Trollope's description of Dr Thorne at the start of the novel. Trollope wishes to explore the social attitudes towards and between GPs and physicians; and naturally he focuses on attitudes to money.
