Miss Mackenzie was written in 1865 and looks at the love of a mature couple, John Ball and Miss Mackenzie. There are echoes of earlier novels, with love and fortune won and lost and clergymen acting as the villains. But the story is memorable for its treatment of how a lone woman could maintain her dignity while relying on the hope of marriage. Trollope pushes the bounds of writing about sexual attraction as far as the limits of his day would allow and the bedroom scene between the two lovers remains in the mind.
