Autorenporträt
Anthony Trollope, born on April 24, 1815, in London, England, emerged as one of the most influential and prolific Victorian novelists. Noted for his acute observations of the social and political landscapes of his times, Trollope wrote 47 novels, alongside various short stories and non-fiction works. 'The Way We Live Now', published in 1875, is often acknowledged as his masterpiece, encapsulating the variegated contours of Victorian society beset with issues like financial greed and moral laxity. Trollope's narrative style, hallmarked by its lucidity and omniscient narrator, allowed for an expansive exploration of character and setting that stood as a precursor to the realist novel of the modern age. His literary corpus has been a subject of academic scrutiny and adulation for its depiction of the quotidian struggles of the clerisy and gentry, culminating in a panoramic depiction of nineteenth-century English life. Besides 'The Way We Live Now', Trollope's notable works include 'The Chronicles of Barsetshire' and 'The Palliser series', which further exhibit his capacity to intertwine personal dilemmas with broader societal issues. Trollope passed away on December 6, 1882, leaving behind an indelible mark on English literature with his voluminous and insightful portrayals of Victorian England.
