Faulkner, Sarah. "The Temporality of Realism and Romance in 'He Knew He Was Right.'" The Fortnightly Review. Dec. 2015. Web.
Through examining a contrast between realism and romance, I argue that Anthony Trollope's 1869 novel 'He Knew He Was Right' locates romance in the projected temporal 'other' spaces of the past and future in order to shape a realism that operates solely within the confined and detailed space of the present.
This paper was the 2015 graduate winner of The Trollope Prize.
