Об авторе
Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was a prolific Victorian writer, who is often credited with helping to shape the English novel into its modern form. Born in London on April 24, 1815, Trollope endured a difficult childhood before finding success with the publication of ‘The Warden’ in 1855, the first of the ‘Chronicles of Barsetshire’ series. Trollope’s insightful depiction of English provincial life and the social dynamics of his time were characteristic of his work. He penned 47 novels, various short stories, and several books on travel. Key to his narrative style was the keen observation of social behaviors, coupled with a sympathetic, yet at times satirical, portrayal of middle-class England.
Trollope’s contributions to literature include ‘Barchester Towers’, ‘The Way We Live Now’, and ‘The Palliser Novels’. His writing, known for its realism and moral seriousness, was driven by his remarkable discipline to adhere to a rigorous writing schedule. The weight of his narrative, balanced by a sharp wit and a depth of character development, earned Trollope a membership in the pantheon of great English novelists. Despite initial criticisms from contemporaries, his reputation has grown posthumously, recognizing him for the masterful manner in which he dissected the complexities of human nature and English society. ‘The Essential Works of Anthony Trollope’ serves as a testament to the enduring relevance of his literary contributions.
