He Knew He Was Right is a compelling psychological drama by Anthony Trollope. The story revolves around the breakdown of a once-loving marriage due to destructive jealousy and obstinacy. It’s a study of a man's descent into madness driven by his inability to relent his conviction, despite lack of proof.
