| Summary | "The Three Clerks" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the mid-19th century, set against the backdrop of Victorian society. The story revolves around the lives of three young clerks—Henry Norman, Alaric Tudor, and Charles Tudor—who navigate the challenges of their careers within the Civil Service while dealing with their ambitions, friendships, and romantic entanglements. The novel delves into themes of social class, character development, and the complexities of young adulthood in a rapidly changing society. The opening of the novel introduces the setting of the Civil Service, specifically the Weights and Measures office in London, highlighting its significance and the ideals of professionalism shared among its clerks. We meet Henry Norman, the diligent and ambitious clerk, alongside Alaric Tudor, who is more carefree and charming, yet a bit superficial. The narrative sets the tone by exploring their respective backgrounds and the societal expectations placed on them. Additionally, Charley Tudor, a cousin of Alaric, is introduced as a character who has taken a more precarious path, working in the less reputable Internal Navigation office. Their initial interactions foreshadow the conflicts and dynamics of friendship that will play out as the story progresses, laying the groundwork for their eventual entanglements with the intriguing Woodward family.
