E-text prepared by Tapio Riikonen and revised by Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D. "The American Senator" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the late 19th century. It explores the dynamics of a small English community in the fictitious town of Dillsborough, with a focus on the interactions between the local gentry and the common folk, as well as the influence of an American senator who has returned to his ancestral home. The central character, Reginald Morton, navigates complex social relationships in a town marked by economic decline and social stratification. The opening of the novel sets the scene in Dillsborough, characterized by a lack of significant industry or attractions, leading to a stagnant population. Trollope introduces key figures, including the Mortons, a family with a storied past linked to land and local gentry, as well as Laurie Twentyman, a farmer yearning for acceptance among the elite. As the characters interact, with hints of feuds and socio-economic struggles, the reader is drawn into their lives and the nuances of their relationships, particularly focusing on Reginald Morton and his complicated connections with Mary Masters and Lawrence Twentyman. This initial chapter lays the groundwork for the unfolding drama and conflicts around class, ambition, and personal relationships.
