Om den här e-boken
Anthony Trollope: An Autobiography is widely regarded as a masterpiece of autobiography, distinguished by its honesty and clarity. Unlike the sensational tales of romance or the soul-searching works of other writers, Trollope’s autobiography stands out for its quiet integrity and modesty. In this candid account, Trollope reflects on his life, his literary career, and his views on the writing process with a straightforward, unadorned style that mirrors his novels. Trollope’s work offers a glimpse into the disciplined mind of a writer who, despite not being celebrated for his philosophical or romantic musings, achieved remarkable success through sheer determination and hard work. His recollections are not self-aggrandizing but grounded in a sincere appraisal of his talents and limitations, making the autobiography a compelling read for anyone interested in the life of a Victorian author.
What sets An Autobiography apart is Trollope's focus on the mundane aspects of his life and career, offering a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at how he managed to produce over forty-seven novels, many of them classics. With refreshing frankness, Trollope discusses his methodical approach to writing, famously stating how he adhered to a daily writing schedule, treating literature as a profession rather than an art to be romanticized. This practical and businesslike attitude toward his craft may have caused controversy in its day, but today, it provides invaluable insight into the inner workings of one of England’s most prolific novelists. Trollope’s ability to create memorable characters and his love for storytelling shine through, making this autobiography a timeless work for literary enthusiasts and aspiring writers alike.
