Orley Farm (novel)
''Orley Farm'' is a novel written in the realist mode by Anthony Trollope (1815–82), and illustrated by the Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais (1829–96). It was first published in monthly shilling parts by the London publisher Chapman and Hall. Although this novel appeared to have undersold (possibly because the shilling part was being overshadowed by magazines, such as ''The Cornhill'', that offered a variety of stories and poems in each issue), ''Orley Farm'' became Trollope's personal favourite.〔''Autobiography'' IX〕 George Orwell said the book contained "one of the most brilliant descriptions of a lawsuit in English fiction."〔 Orwell, Collected Works, ''I Have Tried to Tell the Truth,'' p.449 〕
The house in the book was based on a farm in Harrow once owned by the Trollope family. The real-life farm became a school, which was originally supposed to be the feeder school to Harrow School. It was renamed Orley Farm School after the novel, with Trollope's permission.
==Background==
''Orley Farm'' was first published in monthly shilling parts by the London publisher Chapman and Hall from March 1861 to October 1862. Each part comprised two illustrations that were situated at the front, and two to three chapters that followed. The first volume, also published by Chapman and Hall, appeared in October 1861, before the novel's serialisation was completed. Upon completion in 1862, the second volume was produced.
To produce some of these volumes Chapman and Hall used the unsold parts, making the double volume set valuable for present-day collectors. While the cost for the shilling parts was low, that for the double volume set was high, at eleven shillings per volume.
