Trollope, Anthony 

Born Apr. 24,1815, in London; died there Dec. 6,1882. English author; son of the writer F. Trollope.

Trollope’s first work appeared in 1847. A writer on social themes, Trollope realistically depicted the manners, psychology, and concerns of the English middle class. His cycle of novels about life in the southwest of England, the “Chronicles of Barset-shire” (1855–67), remains his most important work. Another cycle of novels dealt with parliamentary life and included Phineas Finn (2 vols., 1869; Russian translation, 1869) and Phineas Redux (2 vols., 1874; Russian translation, 1875). Trollope was the author of travel books and works of literary criticism, which include his study Thackeray (1879).
