Summary "Orley Farm" by Anthony Trollope is a novel written in the mid-19th century. The book centers around Lady Mason and her son Lucius Mason, featuring legal disputes stemming from a contested will that bequeaths the estate of Orley Farm to Lucius, igniting significant tensions with his half-brother, Joseph Mason. Through the courtroom drama and family dynamics, Trollope explores themes of justice, morality, and the social intricacies of English country life. The opening of "Orley Farm" introduces readers to the origins of the titular estate and its legal entanglements. Trollope sets the stage by recounting the death of Sir Joseph Mason, who leaves Orley Farm to his infant son Lucius in a controversial codicil, contested by his eldest son, Joseph, who feels entitled to the property. Lady Mason is portrayed as the central figure, whose motivations and character will unfold against the backdrop of the ensuing legal battle, along with significant characters like Mr. Dockwrath, the attorney embroiled in the conflict. The initial chapters lay the groundwork for the intricate societal interplay surrounding inheritance and the moral dilemmas that accompany wealth and legacy.
