Sobre l'autor

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) is considered one of the most successful, prolific, and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Trollope's literary career commenced later than most, with his first novel, 'The Macdermots of Ballycloran', appearing in 1847 when he was 32, but his prolificacy afterward was unmatched, penning 47 novels in total. His breakthrough came with the publication of the first novel in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series, 'The Warden' in 1855, which established a pattern of combining acute social commentary with a rich tapestry of character development. His Barsetshire and Palliser series consolidated his success, offering an insightful exploration of the complexities of British society. Trollope was a master of the realistic novel, distinguished by his keen observations and the creation of vivid characters with intricate psychological dimensions. His literary style combines narrative detail with a humorous and satirical eye, deeply exploring the ethos and concerns of the period. One of his later works, 'John Caldigate' (1879), showcases his ability to interrogate moral issues and social mores, exemplifying his storytelling skill and understanding of human nature. The quintessence of Trollope's art lies in his depictions of the everyday lives, trials, and tribulations of his characters, earning him a name synonymous with the Victorian novel and its regard for social intricacies and the moral conflicts of modernity.
