Autorenporträt

Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a prolific Victorian novelist renowned for his keen observations on the social and political landscapes of English society. He is best acknowledged for his compelling portrayals that often reflected the struggles and triumphs of the middle and upper classes. Trollope's oeuvre comprises over 40 novels, including 'Barchester Towers' and 'The Way We Live Now,' and a series of political novels known collectively as the 'Palliser series.' While 'The Commentaries of Cæsar' is often wrongly ascribed to Trollope, his actual works delve deeply into the fabric of Victorian life, weaving intricate narratives that explore themes of morality, social status, and human nature. His literary style is characterized by a rich, descriptive approach, combined with a strong narrative drive and an incisive wit, often encompassing a broad swath of characters from various social backgrounds. As a writer, Trollope employed a rigorous writing regimen and a realistic, unromantic depiction of life, which earned him the admiration of both his contemporaries and future generations. His contribution to the English novel and his analysis of Victorian society remain a benchmark for scholars and literary enthusiasts alike.
