Talk:Orley Farm (novel)

This looks suspiciously lik an introduction to Trollope's Orley Farm

Anti-semitism

Trollope's unflattering Jewish characters, both here and in other novels (e.g. Emilius in The Eustace Diamonds), do show a marked anti-semitism on his part, typical of his time. However, the portrayal of barristers as unscrupulous hardly constitutes strong evidence. Clarityfiend 04:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Lead material

"The house in the book became a school, which was originally supposed to be the feeder school to Harrow School. It is called Orley Farm School, which Trollope allowed to be named after his book.

This passage from the school website reads: In 1851 the school transferred to a house called "Sunnyside" in Sudbury Hill and began taking boarders, then in the late 1850s, Edward Hastings purchased an additional house, "Julians". Unbeknown to him, this property had previously belonged to the family of Anthony Trollope, and when that author faithfully described it in his famous novel of 1862, "Orley Farm", Hastings recognised the description and sought – and gained – the author's permission to change the name of his school to Orley Farm."

NOne of this is referenced and imo is not the stuff that leads should be made of. Too much information about something that does not pertain to the novel really. perhaps it should go somewhere but not in the lead. thats my opinion. If I'm wrong, sorry, and it can easy be put back.
