Biography
Anthony Trollope ( TROL-əp; 24 April 1815 – 6 December 1882) was an English novelist and civil servant of the Victorian era. Among the best-known of his 47 novels are two series of six novels each collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire and the Palliser novels, as well as The Way We Live Now. His novels address political, social, and gender issues and other topical matters. He also wrote his autobiography, a book on William Makepeace Thackeray, a book on Lord Palmerston, five travel books, and 42 short stories.
Trollope's literary reputation dipped during the last years of his life, but he regained something of a following by the mid-20th century. Highly successful television adaptations contributed to his popularity, and his works, especially his best-regarded novels and his autobiography, have continued to be read and studied.
