Trollope by Victoria Glendinning

Anthony Trollope is, with Dickens, perhaps the most enduringly popular Victorian novelist. Born in 1815, he initially made his living working for the Post Office, and introduced the pillar box into Britain. He was also an enthusiastic rider to hounds, a Liberal parliamentary candidate, a magazine editor, a traveller, the devoted friend of Thackeray and George Eliot and the author of over 60 books and a vast amount of journalism. This book explores Trollope's private life - his unhappy childhood, his relationships with his wife and a beautiful American, Kate Fielding - while creating a picture of the times in which he lived. The book won the Whitbread Biography of the Year Award.
