From the Trollope Society website:

"Linda Tressel was the second of three novels Trollope intended to publish anonymously in the 1860s. Linda Tressel is set in Nuremberg, then part of Bavaria. Like the other two novels, Nina Balatka and The Golden Lion of Granpere, it is a romance, and as Joanna Trollope points out, it retains the flavour of a fairy tale. Linda Tressel is orphaned as a little girl, and her fanatically religious aunt, Charlotte Staubach, has come and live with her niece in the family house. The story concerns Aunt Charlotte’s increasingly misguided attempts to make Linda, now aged twenty, marry Peter Steinmarc. Steinmarc sees an opportunity to gain status, a desirable property on the river, and a pretty young wife. Linda, however, is already secretly in love with Steinmarc’s cousin, Ludovic Valcarm. Aunt Charlotte is dismayed by this news, for she considers Ludovic to be entirely unsuitable. She is quite right, but for the wrong reasons: her disapproval derives from her religious scruples and her hope that a man of Steinmarc’s age will be able to tame Linda and crush any flightiness within her. Trollope reflects here upon the insurmountable difficulties faced by a young 19th-century girl, caught uncomfortably between the differing aspirations of three people wholly insensitive to her feelings..."
