The Macdermots of Ballycloran (1847) by Anthony Trollope is his first published novel. Possibly due to its unrelentingly grim and tragic themes, it did not appeal to the sensibilities of the Victorian reading public.

Autorenporträt
Anthony Trollope, born in London in 1815, was the son of barrister Thomas Anthony Trollope and novelist Frances Milton Trollope. Despite his father's struggles in law and farming, his mother achieved literary success, notably with her book Domestic Manners of the Americans. Trollope's education at Harrow School and Winchester College was marked by financial hardships and social challenges. ¿In 1834, Trollope began working as a clerk for the General Post Office in London, a position he initially found unrewarding. His career took a positive turn in 1841 when he was transferred to Ireland as a postal surveyor. There, he met and married Rose Heseltine in 1844, and they had two sons together. ¿While in Ireland, Trollope started writing during his extensive travels for work, leading to his first novel, The Macdermots of Ballycloran (1847). He gained significant recognition with The Warden (1855), the first in his acclaimed Chronicles of Barsetshire series. After resigning from the Post Office in 1867, Trollope dedicated himself to writing, producing 47 novels that offered keen insights into Victorian society.
