Anthony Trollope

Lord Palmerston (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This memoir by Trollope, written between November 1881 and February 1882, the last year of the author's life, offers the modern reader a vivid impression of Palmerston's character and career. Fascinatingly the man is revealed as possessing most of the characteristics of a typical Trollope character from the author's novels: indeed Plantaganet Palliser had already been given many of Palmerston's attributes, particularly his stubbornness, his doggedness, and his diligence. Palmerston emerges as thick-skinned, an occasionally brilliant speaker, and playing a straight bat in his politics. (Google Books)

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.
