Autor

Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was one of the most successful, prolific, and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. A master of the serial novel, Trollope's works are distinguished by their keen observations of the intricacies of English social life, particularly within the domains of the clergy and the gentry. His major contributions to English literature include two series: 'The Chronicles of Barsetshire' and 'The Palliser Novels'. The Barsetshire series, comprising six novels such as 'The Warden' and 'Barchester Towers', explores the lives and loves of the county's ecclesiastical circles. Meanwhile, the Palliser series, with notable works like 'Can You Forgive Her?' and 'Phineas Finn', depicts the political backdrops and personal sagas of the English upper crust. Trollope's literary style is recognized for its realism, sardonic humor, and insightful character portrayals. His novels, despite depicting the mid-nineteenth century, remain relevant and are studied for their social commentary as well as their critique of the tensions arising from economic and class structures. Trollope's influence continues to be felt in modern literature, and his novels are celebrated for their depth, narrative drive, and the distinctive delineation of Victorian society.
