Jane Elizabeth Dougherty contrasts this in “An Angel In The House: The Act Of Union And Anthony Trollope’s Irish Hero,” claiming that the opposite effect can be discerned: Because Trollope himself called attention to the “blunder”… many of these critics have examined the importance of Phineas’s ethnicity to the story… Clearly, critics have not yet reached a consensus on the tricky subject of the ethnicity of Phineas Finn, and its effects on the characterizations, composition, trajectory, and reception of Trollope’s… novel.3 One can conclude, though, that Phineas’s Irish heritage was originally intended to improve upon the novel’s hero.	cache/elements-9299.pdf	txt/elements-9299.txt
