Set in bohemian Paris in the middle of the 19th century, the novel’s title character is a tone-deaf Irish artist’s model and laundress who becomes a world-class singer whenever she performs under the spell induced by the mesmerist Svengali (the origin of that now commonly used term). George Du Maurier (1834-96) specialized in lampooning the social pretensions of the nouveau riche in his role as a staff cartoonist for “Punch” magazine, but later turned to writing fiction due to worsening problems with his vision. “Trilby” was the second of his three novels, all of which contain supernatural elements (a device that was also employed by his more famous grand-daughter, Dame Daphne Du Maurier).
