Autorenporträt
Anthony Trollope was an English author and government worker during the Victorian era. He was born on April 24, 1815, and died on December 6, 1882. One of his most well-known works is a group of stories called the Chronicles of Barsetshire. These books are about an imaginary county called Barsetshire. Besides that, he wrote novels about current events, politics, society, gender problems, and more. In the last few years of his life, Trollope's literary image took a hit, but by the middle of the 20th century, he had gained some fans back. He was smart, well-educated, and a Fellow of New College, Oxford. Father of Thomas Trollope was Rev. (Thomas) Anthony Trollope, rector of Cottered, Hertfordshire. Anthony Trollope was the sixth son of Sir Thomas Trollope, 4th Baronet. The baronetcy was later given to people who were related to Anthony Trollope's second son, Frederic. Because Thomas Trollope was born into a wealthy family, he wanted his boys to be raised as gentlemen and go to Oxford or Cambridge.
