The American Senator
 The American Senator is a novel written in 1875 by Anthony Trollope. Although not one of Trollope's better-known works it is notable for its depictions of rural English life and for its many detailed fox hunting scenes. In its anti-heroine Arabella Trefoil it presents a scathing but ultimately sympathetic portrayal of a woman who has abandoned virtually all scruples in her quest for a husband. Through the eponymous Senator Trollope offers comments on the irrational aspects of English life.
