Biography
Anthony Trollope's father, Thomas Anthony Trollope, worked as a barrister. Wystan Hugh Auden (21 February 1907 – 29 September 1973 ˈwɪstən ˈhjuː ˈɔːdən who signed his works W A barrister is a Lawyer found in many Common law Jurisdictions that employ a split profession (as opposed to a Fused profession) in relation Thomas Trollope, though a clever and well-educated man and a Fellow of New College, Oxford, failed at the bar due to his bad temper. New College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. In addition, his ventures into farming proved unprofitable and he lost an expected inheritance when an elderly uncle married and had children. Nonetheless, he came from a genteel background, with connections to the landed gentry, and so wished to educate his sons as gentlemen and for them to attend Oxford or Cambridge. Landed gentry is a term traditionally applied in Britain to those people of a certain type and education who possess land in the form of country estates often (but The term gentleman (from Latin gentilis, belonging to a race or "gens" and "man" Cognate with the French word gentilhomme The University of Oxford (informally "Oxford University" or simply "Oxford" located in the city of Oxford, Oxfordshire, England is the The University of Cambridge (often Cambridge University) located in Cambridge, England, is the second-oldest university in the The disparity between his family's social background and its poverty would be the cause of much misery to Anthony Trollope during his boyhood.
Born in London, Anthony attended Harrow School as a day-boy for three years from the age of seven, as his father's farm lay in that neighbourhood. Day pupils (also known as day hops or day scholars and in single-sex schools day boys or day girls) are students who attend Boarding school After a spell at a private school, he followed his father and two older brothers to Winchester College, where he remained for three years. Winchester College is a well-known boys' Independent school, and an example of an English Public school, in the city of Winchester in Hampshire He returned to Harrow as a day-boy to reduce the cost of his education. Trollope had some very miserable experiences at these two public schools. The term public school has two distinct (and virtually opposite meanings depending on the location of usage in the United States, Australia and They ranked as two of the most élite schools in England, but Trollope had no money and no friends, and was bullied a great deal. At the age of twelve, he fantasized about suicide. However, he also daydreamed, constructing elaborate imaginary worlds.
In 1827, his mother Frances Trollope moved to America with Trollope's three younger siblings, where she opened a bazaar in Cincinnati, which proved unsuccessful. Frances Trollope ( March 10, 1780 &ndash October 6, 1863) was an English Novelist and miscellaneous writer who published as Mrs The United States of America —commonly referred to as the Thomas Trollope joined them for a short time before returning to the farm at Harrow, but Anthony stayed in England throughout. His mother returned in 1831 and rapidly made a name for herself as a writer, soon earning a good income. His father's affairs, however, went from bad to worse. He gave up his legal practice entirely and failed to make enough income from farming to pay rents to his landlord Lord Northwick. John Rushout 2nd Baron Northwick ( 16 February 1770 - 20 January 1859) was an English peer landowner and collector of art works In 1834 he fled to Belgium to avoid arrest for debt. The Kingdom of Belgium is a Country in northwest Europe. It is a founding member of the European Union and hosts its headquarters as well as those The whole family moved to a house near Bruges, where they lived entirely on Frances's earnings. Bruges (Brugge is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium. In 1835, Thomas Trollope died.
While living in Belgium, Anthony worked as a Classics usher (a junior or assistant teacher) in a school with a view to learning French and German, so that he could take up a promised commission in an Austrian cavalry regiment, which had to be cut short at six weeks.

A post office is a facility authorized by a Postal system for the posting receipt sorting handling transmission or delivery of Mail. This provided a respectable, gentlemanly occupation, but not a well-paid one.
Time in Ireland
Trollope lived in boarding houses and remained socially awkward; he referred to this as his "hobbledehoyhood". A boarding house, also known as a "rooming house" (mainly in the United States) or a "lodging house" is a House (often a family home He made little progress in his career until the Post Office sent him to Ireland in 1841. Ireland (pronounced /ˈaɾlənd/ Éire) is the third largest island in Europe, and the twentieth-largest island in the world He married an Englishwoman named Rose Heseltine in 1844. They lived in Ireland until 1859 when they moved back to England. [1]
Despite the calamity of the famine in Ireland, Trollope wrote of his time in Ireland in his autobiography:
- "It was altogether a very jolly life that I led in Ireland. The Irish people did not murder me, nor did they even break my head. I soon found them to be good-humoured, clever - the working classes very much more intelligent than those of England - economical and hospitable. "[2]
His professional role as a post-office surveyor brought him into contact with Irish people. [3] Trollope began writing on the numerous long train trips around Ireland he had to take to carry out his postal duties. Setting very firm goals about how much he would write each day, he eventually became one of the most prolific writers of all time. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, occasionally dipping into the "lost-letter" box for ideas. A novel (from Italian novella, Spanish novela, French nouvelle for "new" "news" or "short story [4]
Significantly, many of his earliest novels have Ireland as their setting — natural enough given his background, but unlikely to enjoy warm critical reception, given the contemporary English attitudes towards Ireland. [5] It has been pointed out by critics that Trollope's view of Ireland separates him from many of the other Victorian novelists. [6] Some critics claim that Ireland did not influence Trollope as much as his experience in England, and that the society in Ireland harmed him as a writer, especially since Ireland was experiencing the potato famine during his time there. [7] Such critics were dismissed as holding bigoted opinions against Ireland and did not reflect Trollope's true attachment to the island. [8][9]
There were three novels written about Ireland, and two were written during the famine while the third deals with the famine as a theme (The Macdermots of Ballycloran, The Landleaguers and Castle Richmond respectively). [10] Two short stories deal with Ireland ("The O'Conors of Castle Conor, County Mayo"[11] and "Father Giles of Ballymoy" [12]). [13] It has been argued by some critics that these works seek to unify an Irish and British identity, instead of view the two as distinct. [14] Even as an Englishman in Ireland, he was still able to attain what was seen as essential to being an "Irish writer": possessed, obsessed, and "mauled" by Ireland. [15][16]
The reception of the Irish works left much to be desired. Henry Colburn wrote to Trollope to say, "It is evident that readers do not like novels on Irish subjects as well as on others". [17] In particular, magazines such as New Monthly Magazine wrote reviews that attacked the Irish for their actions during the famine were representative of the dismissal by English readers to any work written about the Irish. [18][19]
As such, Trollope wrote, about Phineas Finn as an Irishman:
- "There was nothing to be gained by the peculiarity, and there was an added difficulty in obtaining sympathy and affection for a politician belonging to a nationality whose politics are not respected in England. But in spite of this Phineas succeeded. "[20]
Return to England
By the mid-1860s, Trollope had reached a fairly senior position within the Post Office hierarchy. Events and trends Technology The First Transcontinental Railroad in the USA was completed in 1869 Postal history credits him with introducing the pillar box (the ubiquitous bright red mail-box) in the United Kingdom. A pillar box is a free-standing Post box, in the United Kingdom, where Mail is deposited to be collected by the Royal Mail and forwarded to the Mail, or post, is a method for transmitting information and tangible objects wherein written Documents typically enclosed in Envelopes and also The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland was the formal name of the United Kingdom from 1 January 1801 until 12 April 1927 He had by this time also started to earn a substantial income from his novels. He had overcome the awkwardness of his youth, made good friends in literary circles, and hunted enthusiastically.
He left the Post Office in 1867 to run for Parliament as a Liberal candidate in 1868. The Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is the supreme legislative body in the United Kingdom and British overseas territories The Liberal Party was one of the two major British political parties from the early 19th century until the rise of the Labour Party in the 1920s and a third party After he lost, he concentrated entirely on his literary career. Career is a term defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as an individual's "course or progress through life (or a distinct portion of life" While continuing to produce novels rapidly, he also edited the St Paul's Magazine, which published several of his novels in serial form.
His first major success came with The Warden (1855) — the first of six novels set in the fictional county of "Barsetshire" (often collectively referred to as the Chronicles of Barsetshire), usually dealing with the clergy. The Warden is the first Novel in Anthony Trollope 's series known as the " Chronicles of Barsetshire " published in 1855. A county is a Land area of Regional Government within a larger State. The "Chronicles of Barsetshire " is a series of six Novels by the English author Anthony Trollope, set in the fictitious Cathedral town The comic masterpiece Barchester Towers (1857) has probably become the best-known of these. Barchester Towers, published in 1857 Trollope's other major series, the Palliser novels, concerned itself with politics, with the wealthy, industrious Plantagenet Palliser and his delightfully spontaneous, even richer wife Lady Glencora usually featuring prominently (although, as with the Barsetshire series, many other well-developed characters populated each novel). The "Palliser novels" are six novels by Anthony Trollope. Plantagenet Palliser is a main character in the Palliser series of Novels also known as the "Parliamentary Novels" by Anthony Trollope
Trollope's popularity and critical success diminished in his later years, but he continued to write prolifically, and some of his later novels have acquired a good reputation. In particular, critics generally acknowledge the sweeping satire The Way We Live Now (1875) as his masterpiece. For the Susan Sontag short story see " The Way We Live Now (short story " In all, Trollope wrote forty-seven novels, as well as dozens of short stories and a few books on travel.
Anthony Trollope died in London in 1882. His grave stands in Kensal Green Cemetery, near that of his contemporary Wilkie Collins. Kensal Green Cemetery is a burial ground located in Kensal Green, London, England. William Wilkie Collins ( 8 January 1824 &ndash 23 September 1889) was an English Novelist, Playwright, and C. P. Snow wrote a biography of Trollope, published in 1975, called Trollope: His Life and Art. Charles Percy Snow Baron Snow CBE ( 15 October 1905 &ndash 1 July 1980) was an English Physicist and Novelist
Reputation
After his death, Trollope's Autobiography appeared. Trollope's downfall in the eyes of the critics stemmed largely from this volume. Even during his writing career, reviewers tended increasingly to shake their heads over his prodigious output (the same complaint was targeted at Charles Dickens), but when Trollope revealed that he strictly adhered to a daily writing quota, he confirmed his critics' worst fears. The Muse, in their view, might prove immensely prolific, but she would never ever follow a schedule. In Greek mythology, the Muses ( Ancient Greek, hai moũsai: perhaps from the Proto-Indo-European root * men- "think" are (Interestingly, no-one decried Gustave Flaubert for diligence, though he too worked on a schedule-scheme similar to Trollope's. Gustave Flaubert (gystaːv flobɛːʁ in French ( December 12, 1821 &ndash May 8, 1880) was a French writer who is counted among ) Furthermore, Trollope admitted that he wrote for money; at the same time he called the disdain of money false and foolish. The Muse, claimed the critics, should not be aware of money.
Julian Hawthorne, an American writer, critic and friend of Trollope, while praising him as a man, calling him "a credit to England and to human nature, and . Julian Hawthorne ( June 22, 1846 &ndash1934 was an American writer and journalist the son of novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne and Sophia Peabody . . [deserving] to be numbered among the darlings of mankind," at the same time says that "he has done great harm to English fictitious literature by his novels" ("The Maker of Many Books," Confessions and Criticisms).
Henry James also expressed mixed opinions of Trollope. Henry James, OM ( –) son of theologian Henry James Sr, brother of the philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James The young James wrote some scathing reviews of Trollope's novels (The Belton Estate, for instance, he called "a stupid book, without a single thought or idea in it . . . a sort of mental pabulum"). Pablum is a processed Cereal for Infants originally marketed by the Mead Johnson Company in 1931 He also made it clear that he disliked Trollope's narrative method; Trollope's cheerful interpolations into his novels about how his storylines could take any twist their author wanted did not appeal to James' sense of artistic integrity. However, James thoroughly appreciated Trollope's attention to realistic detail, as he wrote in an essay shortly after the novelist's death:
"His [Trollope's] great, his incontestable merit, was a complete appreciation of the usual. . . he felt all daily and immediate things as well as saw them; felt them in a simple, direct, salubrious way, with their sadness, their gladness, their charm, their comicality, all their obvious and measurable meanings. . . Trollope will remain one of the most trustworthy, though not one of the most eloquent of writers who have helped the heart of man to know itself. . . A race is fortunate when it has a good deal of the sort of imagination — of imaginative feeling — that had fallen to the share of Anthony Trollope; and in this possession our English race is not poor. "
James disliked Trollope's breaking the fourth wall in addressing readers directly. The fourth wall is the imaginary wall at the front of the stage in a Proscenium Theater, through which the audience sees the action in the world of the play However, Trollope may have had some influence on James's own work; the earlier novelist's treatment of family tensions, especially between fathers and daughters, may resonate in some of James' novels. Family denotes a group of People affiliated by consanguinity affinity or co-residence For instance, Alice Vavasor and her selfish father in the first of the so-called Palliser novels, Can You Forgive Her?, may pre-figure Kate Croy and her own insufferable father, Lionel, in The Wings of the Dove. The "Palliser novels" are six novels by Anthony Trollope. Can You Forgive Her? is a Novel by Anthony Trollope, first published in serial form in 1864 and 1865 This is the article about the novel For the film adapted from James' novel see The Wings of the Dove (film.
Writers such as Thackeray, Eliot and Collins admired and befriended Trollope, and George Eliot noted that she could not have embarked on so ambitious a project as Middlemarch without the precedent set by Trollope in his own novels of the fictional — yet thoroughly alive — county of Barsetshire. William Makepeace Thackeray (ˈθækərɪ 18 July 1811 – 24 December 1863 was an English Novelist of the 19th century Mary Ann (Marian Evans ( 22 November 1819 – 22 December 1880) better known by her Pen name George Eliot, was an William Wilkie Collins ( 8 January 1824 &ndash 23 September 1889) was an English Novelist, Playwright, and Middlemarch is a Novel by George Eliot, the pen name of Mary Anne Evans later Marian Evans
As trends in the world of the novel moved increasingly towards subjectivity and artistic experimentation, Trollope's standing with critics suffered. In the 1940s, Trollopians made attempts to resurrect his reputation; he enjoyed a critical Renaissance in the 1960s, and again in the 1990s. The 1940s decade ran from 1940 to 1949 Events and trends The 1940s was a period between the radical 1930s and the conservative 1950s which also leads the period to be The 1960s decade refers to the years from the beginning of 1960 to the end of 1969 The 1990s collectively refers to the years between and including 1990 and 1999 Some critics today have a particular interest in Trollope's portrayal of women — he caused remark even in his own day for his remarkable insight and sensitivity to the inner conflicts caused by the position of women in Victorian society. Culture The Victorian fascination with novelty resulted in a deep interest in the relationship between modernity and cultural continuities Less compelling however, is the anti-semitism which appears in some of his work (for instance, in The Eustace Diamonds, where he refers to the character of Mr Emilius as a "nasty, greasy, lying, squinting Jew preacher"), and which exceeds anything to be found, say, in either Dickens or James. The Eustace Diamonds is a Novel by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1871 as a serial in the Fortnightly Review.
