About
Based on historical events around the time of the French Revolution, La Vendée was written early in Anthony Trollope's literary career. The novel opens with troops from the newly formed Republic of France as they attempt to recruit locals to their army, while in Vendée, the locals build up a substantial resistance. With a healthy dose of romance included, this is a departure from Trollope's more typical settings and subjects, which makes it a novel of particular interest.
