Autorenporträt
Frances Milton Trollope (1780–1863) was an English novelist and writer whose vivid satires of English and American manners earned her both admiration and censure during her lifetime. Known for her keen observations and detailed depictions of society, Trollope published over 100 books, embracing a range of genres from novels to travel writing. Perhaps best known for her controversial work 'Domestic Manners of the Americans' (1832), which critiqued American life and culture, she also made significant contributions to English literature with her fiction. One noteworthy example is 'The Vicar of Wrexhill' (1837), which offers a scathing examination of evangelicalism and the corruption within the Church of England. Trollope's literary style combines incisive social commentary with engaging storytelling, characterized by dry wit and a sharp eye for the foibles of her contemporaries. Although her work fell out of favor after her death, recent scholarship has heralded a revival of interest in her writing, recognizing Trollope as a pioneering female voice in the 19th-century literary scene and an influential figure in the development of the English novel. Her legacy continues to be studied for its contributions to social and cultural history, as well as for its literary merit.
