1815–1882
Best known for the Barsetshire and Palliser novels, this prolific Victorian writer paired sharp social observation with a warm, steady sense of humor. His stories of clergy, politicians, ambition, and everyday compromise still feel lively and recognizably human.

Born in London on April 24, 1815, Anthony Trollope became one of the major English novelists of the Victorian era. He is especially remembered for the six Barsetshire novels and the six Palliser novels, as well as The Way We Live Now. Before literature made him famous, he worked for the British Post Office, a career that also took him to Ireland.
Trollope wrote on a remarkable scale, producing dozens of novels along with travel writing, short fiction, and autobiography. Readers have long been drawn to the way he turns ordinary social life into compelling drama: careers, marriages, money worries, church politics, elections, and private ambitions all matter deeply in his fiction. His style is clear, witty, and companionable, which helps explain why his books continue to win new readers.
He died in London on December 6, 1882. Although some critics once underrated him, Trollope is now widely seen as a master of the realistic novel and one of the most rewarding chroniclers of 19th-century British life.
