      About This Book

      Kept in the Dark is a novel by the 19th century
      English novelist Anthony Trollope. One of his lesser and later works, it
      nonetheless has interest. It was published in eight monthly instalments in 1882,
      and also in book form in the same year.

      The plot is a simple one - Cecilia Holt ends her engagement to Sir Francis
      Geraldine because of his indifference to her; she goes abroad and meets Mr
      George Western, who has been jilted by a beautiful girl. They marry but she does
      not tell him she has been previously engaged, although he has told her his
      story. When Western is informed of the previous engagement by Sir Francis,
      Western leaves his wife and goes abroad; she returns to Exeter to live with her
      mother. Her sister-in-law in the end effects a reconciliation. There is a comic
      sub-plot, as so often with Trollope, involving one of Cecilia's friends who
      attempts to marry Sir Francis. The novel is principally about duty and truth in
      marriage, and the relationship of a couple to society.
