About this listen
 Petticoat Government: A Novel by Frances Milton Trollope. The narrative follows Judith Maitland, a young heiress who travels from fashionable London to the modest lodgings of her aunt Penelope Worthington and her artist son Charles. As Judith negotiates the requirements of wealth, marriage, and art, she finds herself at the center of a web of family entanglements and social pretensions. She uses her fortune to relief poverty, negotiates with two spinster aunts about guardianship and carriage, and negotiates her engagement to Frederic Dorking. The plot exposes the ruthlessness and vanity of high society, and it probes the duties that bind family members across class lines. Judiths decision to honor dying maternal injunctions leads to a dramatic reconfiguration of relationships: Penelopes rekindled hope, Charless rising artistic career, and a reconsideration of Frederics place in Judiths life. In the end, love, fidelity, and practical charity redefine happiness for the Worthington and Maitland families.©2026 Arthur Moore (P)2026 Mark Leder
