Doctor Thorne is the third book in Trollopeâs âChronicles of Barsetshireâ series, which is set in the fictional county of Barsetshire, somewhere in Englandâs West Country. Unlike the two earlier novels in the series, Doctor Thorne isnât set in the cathedral city of Barchester, but in the small village of Greshamsbury and the estate of the local squire, Greshamsbury Park.
Doctor Thorne is a middleaged medical practitioner in Greshamsbury, a friend of the local squire Mr. Gresham, who is deeply in debt because of illadvised attempts to gain a seat in Parliament. Doctor Thorne not only provides medical advice to the Greshams, but also assists Mr. Gresham in obtaining financial loans from a local selfmade entrepreneur, Sir Richard Scratcherd. When Mr. Greshamâs son Frank comes of age, it is impressed on the young man that he must âmarry moneyâ to overcome the debts of the estate.
Doctor Thorne is regarded highly among Trollopeâs works, with one prominent critic, Michael Sadleir, writing in 1927 of âthe sensational perfection of Doctor Thorne.â
A television adaptation of the book was produced by ITV and aired in March 2016, with a script written by Julian Fellowes, the writer of Gosford Park and Downton Abbey
