Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope (24 April 1815 – 6 December 1882) was an English novelist and civil servant active during the Victorian era [2]. Born in London [11], he produced a substantial body of work that encompasses 47 novels, 42 short stories, an autobiography, five travel books, and biographical studies of William Makepeace Thackeray and Lord Palmerston [2]. His writing spanned multiple genres, including the short story, essay, biography, and travel writing [5].

Among his most celebrated novels are the six-volume Chronicles of Barsetshire and the six-volume Palliser series, alongside the standalone work The Way We Live Now [2]. Across these and his other novels, Trollope engaged with political, social, and gender issues of his day [2]. His reputation was sufficiently established during his lifetime to earn entries in major reference works, including the Encyclopædia Britannica and the Dictionary of National Biography [8].

Trollope had two sons, Henry Merivale Trollope and Frederic James Anthony Trollope [12]. He died on 6 December 1882 [2], leaving behind a prolific and wide-ranging body of work that continues to be recognised as a significant contribution to Victorian literature.
