Anthony Trollope was one of the most popular writers of his generation, the one between Dickens and Thackeray on the one hand and such late Victorians as Stevenson and Wilde on the other which saw the greatest popularity and social standing of the Victorian literary novel. However, his posthumous reputation suffered at the hands of fellow novelists who thought him pedestrian, and critics after his death who presumed that no-one so prolific, and able to work to so rigid a schedule, could be inspired. Yet he is now undergoing a critical revival, revealing a daringly progressive thinker on social issues and a fearless and pointed satirist, as well as the well-known masterful and loving drawer of character. The contemporary comparisons with Austen, and Trollope's own proclamation of Thackeray as his master, are being belatedly rejustified.

This edition collects all of Trollope's major novels and a selection of his short stories, plus his autobiography, his substantial work on the USA written from first-hand research during the Civil War and the biography and critical appreciation of the writer he most revered, Thackeray.

Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) started his writing career while working in Ireland as a postal surveyor. Travelling around the country, Trollope gained knowledge of the country and its people which proved to be useful material for his first two novels, The Macdermots of Ballycloran (1847) and The Kellys and the O'Kellys (1848). Trollope soon started writing fiercely, producing a series entitled Chronicles of Barsetshire. The Warden, the first in the series, was published in 1855. Barchester Towers (1857), the comic masterpiece, Doctor Thorne (1858), Framley Parsonage (1861), The Small House at Allington (1864) and The Last Chronicle of Barset (1867) followed, portraying events in an imaginary English county of Barsetshire. In 1867, Trollope left the Post Office to run as a candidate for the Parliament. Having lost at the elections, Trollope focused on his writing. A satire from his later writing, The Way We Live Now (1875) is often viewed as Trollope's major work, however, his popularity and writing reputation diminished at the later stage of his life. Anthony Trollope died in London in 1882.
