Summary "Hunting Sketches" by Anthony Trollope is a collection of essays written during the late 19th century. The book explores various facets of fox-hunting and the diverse characters involved in the sport, from those who love it to those who begrudgingly participate. Through his humorous examination, Trollope delves into the societal norms, camaraderie, and personal struggles experienced in the hunting field. The opening of the collection introduces the concept of the "man who hunts and doesn’t like it." Trollope paints a vivid picture of those who find themselves in the hunting field out of obligation rather than enjoyment. He elaborates on the contrasting experiences of hunting enthusiasts versus reluctant participants, demonstrating how societal pressures lead many to partake in the sport while lacking genuine interest. Notable themes arise regarding the nuances of identity and pride among participants, setting a tone of both satire and affectionate commentary as Trollope reflects on the complexities of human behavior in the hunting milieu.
