Anthony Trollope, (born April 24, 1815, London, Eng.-died Dec. 6, 1882, London), English novelist whose popular success concealed until long after his death the nature and extent of his literary merit.

Anthony Trollope, (born April 24, 1815, London, Eng.-died Dec. 6, 1882, London), English novelist whose popular success concealed until long after his death the nature and extent of his literary merit. A series of books set in the imaginary English county of Barsetshire remains his best loved and most famous work, but he also wrote convincing novels of political life as well as studies that show great psychological penetration. One of his greatest strengths was a steady, consistent vision of the social structures of Victorian England, which he re-created in his books with unusual solidity. Trollope grew up as the son of a sometime scholar, barrister, and failed gentleman farmer. He was unhappy at the great public schools of Winchester and Harrow. Adolescent awkwardness continued until well into his 20s. The years 1834-41 he spent miserably as a junior clerk in the General Post Office, but he was then transferred as a postal surveyor to Ireland, where he began to enjoy a social life. In 1844 he married Rose Heseltine, an Englishwoman, and set up house at Clonmel, in Tipperary. He then embarked upon a literary career that leaves a dominant impression of immense energy and versatility. The Warden (1855) was his first novel of distinction, a penetrating study of the warden of an old people's home who is attacked for making too much profit from a charitable sinecure. During the next 12 years Trollope produced five other books set, like The Warden, in Barsetshire: Barchester Towers (1857), Doctor Thorne (1858), Framley Parsonage (1861), The Small House at Allington (1864), and The Last Chronicle of Barset (serially 1866-67; 1867). Barchester Towers is the funniest of the series; Doctor Thorne perhaps the best picture of a social system based on birth and the ownership of land; and The Last Chronicle, with its story of the sufferings of the scholarly Mr. Crawley, an underpaid curate of a poor parish, the most pathetic. The Barsetshire novels excel in memorable characters, and they exude the atmosphere of the cathedral community and of the landed aristocracy. (britannica.com)

Autorenporträt
Anthony Trollope was an English author and government worker during the Victorian era. He was born on April 24, 1815, and died on December 6, 1882. One of his most well-known works is a group of stories called the Chronicles of Barsetshire. These books are about an imaginary county called Barsetshire. Besides that, he wrote novels about current events, politics, society, gender problems, and more. In the last few years of his life, Trollope's literary image took a hit, but by the middle of the 20th century, he had gained some fans back. He was smart, well-educated, and a Fellow of New College, Oxford. Father of Thomas Trollope was Rev. (Thomas) Anthony Trollope, rector of Cottered, Hertfordshire. Anthony Trollope was the sixth son of Sir Thomas Trollope, 4th Baronet. The baronetcy was later given to people who were related to Anthony Trollope's second son, Frederic. Because Thomas Trollope was born into a wealthy family, he wanted his boys to be raised as gentlemen and go to Oxford or Cambridge.
