Orley Farm is a novel written in the realist mode by Anthony Trollope and illustrated by the Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais. It follows the story of Lady Mason, inheritor of the late Joseph Mason's estate and his second wife. Her son challenges an inhabitant of the estate, Samuel Dockwrath, to leave due to his unorthodox farming methods, but he has other plans. Excerpt: "It is not true that a rose by any other name will smell as sweet. Were it true, I should call this story "The Great Orley Farm Case." But who would ask for the ninth number of a serial work burthened with so very uncouth an appellation? Thence, and therefore,—Orley Farm.
