An Unprotected Female At The Pyramids is a novel written by Anthony Trollope. The story is set in Egypt during the 19th century and follows the journey of a young woman named Lucy, who travels to Egypt with her aunt and uncle. Lucy's uncle is a wealthy businessman who is interested in exploring the possibility of investing in Egyptian cotton. While in Egypt, Lucy meets a young archaeologist named Mr. Fitzgerald, with whom she falls in love. However, Lucy's uncle disapproves of the match, and the couple faces numerous obstacles in their quest to be together. Along the way, Lucy discovers the beauty and mystery of Egypt, and the novel explores themes of love, class, and cultural differences. The book is known for its vivid descriptions of the Egyptian landscape and its portrayal of the social norms and expectations of Victorian society.Now Mrs. Damer was soft-hearted, and also somewhat old-fashioned. She did not conceive any violent affection for Miss Dawkins, but she told her daughter that ""the single lady by herself was a very nice young woman, and that it was a thousand pities she should have to go about so much alone like.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

Anthony Trollope became one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Some of Trollope's best-loved works, known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, revolve around the imaginary county of Barsetshire; he also wrote penetrating novels on political, social, and gender issues and conflicts of his day. Trollope has always been a popular novelist. Noted fans have included Sir Alec Guinness (who never travelled without a Trollope novel), former British Prime Ministers Harold Macmillan and Sir John Major, economist John Kenneth Galbraith, American novelists Sue Grafton and Dominick Dunne and soap opera writer Harding Lemay. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life, but he regained the esteem of critics by the mid-twentieth century.
