O autorovi
Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era, renowned for his prolific writing and his keen observations of the social classes. Trollope's literary style is marked by his richly textured characters, intricate plots, and a blending of humor and moral seriousness. Among his well-loved works are the series of novels known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which included 'The Warden' (1855) and 'Barchester Towers' (1857), and the Palliser novels that depicted the political milieu of his time. 'Thackeray' (1879) is an example of his prowess in literary criticism; in this book, Trollope explores the life and works of his contemporary, William Makepeace Thackeray, offering insights into the creative genius of the famed author of 'Vanity Fair.' Not merely a novelist, Trollope was a keen social commentator, and his writings often reflect the issues and challenges of the British clerical establishment and the gentry, thus providing a window into Victorian society. His autobiography, 'An Autobiography' (1883), published posthumously, is a candid self-assessment and a valuable resource for understanding his approach to literature and writing practices.
