Anthony Trollope

---

Anthony Trollope, author of more than fifty books, including Barchester Towers, The Warden, and The Last Chronicle of Barset, was one of the most prolific and brilliant novelists of the Victorian Era. James Pope-Hennessy, biographer of Queen Mary - and the grandson of an Irish member of Parliament widely believed to have been the prototype fot he hero of Trollope's novel Phineas Finn - has written what will long be considered the major critical biography of Anthony Trollope. Encompassing all of Trollope's life from his impoverished childhood and his days as a postal clerk and inspector to his richly earned years of literary success, it relates Trollope's plot and characters to experiences in real life, explores his attitudes to Victorian High Society, his passion for hunting and his extensive foreign travels. 'Anthony Trollope did not write for posterity; he wrote for the day, the moment...' said Henry James. This book pays tribute to Trollope's pure genius as an interpreter of a now-remote age.
