This is Trollope's only historical novel. Although it was well received, it was written early in his career before he began to enjoy some popularity. It takes place during the Reign of Terror and is one story of Royalists resisting the republicans. There are two other novels of this very resistance: The Chouans by Balzac and Ninety-Three by Hugo. I know the Balzac to be better than La Vendée and I expect the Hugo to be better as well.
