Anthony Trollope

Miss Mackenzie

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

MISS MACKENZIE (1865) by Anthony Trollope is the story of "a very unattractive old maid" as the author originally called her. But Trollope must have changed his mind in the writing, because the steadfast and sensible heroine comes across as highly sympathetic to the reader, and once again the subject of love is inescapable. Miss Mackenzie, a spinster long past her first bloom, with the sudden possibility of a fortune, is beset by suitors and personal choices. A deft exploration of money, love, and relationships by a master of sensibility, caricature, and the social mores of his time.

Autorenporträt

Anthony Trollope (1815 - 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote novels on political, social and gender issues and other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life but he had regained the esteem of critics by the mid-20th century. Trollope began writing on the numerous long train trips around Ireland he had to take to carry out his postal duties. Setting very firm goals about how much he would write each day, he eventually became one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, occasionally dipping into the "lost-letter" box for ideas.
