Trollope by Victoria Glendinning

Trollope by Victoria Glendinning

Victoria Glendinning provides a woman's view of Anthony Trollope, placing emphasis on family, particularly on his relationship with his mother. But it is Anthony as a husband and lover that intrigues her most. She looks at the nature of his love for his wife, Rose and at his love for Kate Field.

Glendinning succeeds, as no biographer has done before, in bringing him to life on the page-Here, at last, is an Anthony Trollope whom one can know as a man-The effect is startlingly impressive-- Jonathan Raban, * Independent on Sunday *
'Enormously enjoyable' -- John Mortimer, Books of the Year * Sunday Times *
Full of fascinating knowledge about the Victorian age in England-A great story superbly told.' -- Augustine Martin, * Irish Times *
As compelling readable as any of Anthony's own novels.' -- Ruth Rendell, * Sunday Express *
I came to this biography of Trollope with unreasonably high expectations. They were amply fulfilled-A work as readable, richly shifting and well-shaped as a good novel-compendiously well-informed.' -- Caroline Moore, * The Times *

Victoria Glendinning is the author of several biographies: Elizabeth Bowen (1977); Edith Sitwell: A Unicorn among Lions (which won the Duff Cooper Memorial Prize and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, 1981); Vita, a life of Vita Sackville-West (joint winner of the Whitbread Award for the best biography, 1983); Rebecca West (1987); and Jonathan Swift (1998).
