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).

Morse (English, College of William and Mary) proposes a reinterpretation of the work of Anthony Trollope as both an experimental and innovative writer of fiction and a radical critic of the English cultural and legal institution of primogeniture and of English race discourses, thereby simultaneously presenting a picture of Trollope as a reformer and seeking to reform interpretations of Trollope politically and artistically.

IN PRAISE OF Consumerism

THE VICTORIAN MEN AND WOMEN portrayed in the novels of Anthony Trollope seem surprisingly like us, far more so than literary creatures from only a century earlier (Torn Jones, say, or Clarissa Harlowe).

Eminently Victorian

With her usual lucidity of sense and expression, Catherine Hall discusses the constitutive infl uence of imperialism on both men and women, using as her vehicle for this the travel writings of the Victorian novelist, Anthony Trollope. The articulation of empire and masculinity in his accounts of 'going a-trolloping' was predicated on the inferiorisation of both women and 'native' peoples.

Gender and Imperialism

And the story--and the plan--of Neverbend are the creations of Anthony Trollope, with whom, Henry James said, we are always "safe" (100).

The Fixed Period: Trollope's `Modest Proposal'

Pamela Neville-Sington begins her biography of Frances Trollope with a quote from Anthony Trollope's "condescending portrait" of his mother, and comments that "if Fanny is remembered at all today, it is as an admittedly courageous and hard-working woman who nevertheless neglected her talented son, and was herself a second-rate writer, a political dilettante and a bit of a snob." Taking this assessment as her starting point, she embarks on a revisionary account of the life of Frances Trollope, a "clever woman" whose life was indeed adventurous.
