An Old Man's Love, Trollope's brief, final novel, was published posthumously in 1884. It concerns an admirable, middle-aged man, Mr. Whittlestaff, who loves a woman half his age and loses her to a less admirable, younger man. The novel is populated with Trollope's humorous minor characters: Mr. Whittlestaff's outspoken yet loyal housekeeper, Mrs Baggett, her drunken husband, and the Hall household, full of mirth and youth.
