Sir Harry Hotspur of Humblethwaite

About this film

LibriVox recording of Sir Harry Hotspur of Humblethwaite by Anthony Trollope. Read in English by Simon Evers Sir Harry Hotspur’s only son and heir dies young which means that the title goes to a cousin, George Hotspur. Sir Harry wants the ancestral property to go to his daughter, Emily, and hopes that a future husband will adopt the family name. George is a charmer but also a spendthrift and a gambler. He sets out to win Emily in order to save himself from bankruptcy – and succeeds, despite Emily knowing he is really unworthy. She is convinced she can save him but has also promised she will not marry without her father’s consent – which of course Sir Harry refuses to give. The book follows their story.
