Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a prolific Victorian writer, whose literary career spanned almost four decades. His works are esteemed for their acuminous depiction of the social and political milieu of his times. Trollope was born in London, the son of a barrister. Despite a challenging childhood marred by his father's financial misfortune, Trollope carved out a dual career as a postal worker and a writer, which allowed him extensive travel and insight into different strata of society. His novels often interweave ordinary domestic life with the consequences of industrial and political change.
