About the author
Born Frances Eleanor Ternan on August 1, 1835, she later became Frances Eleanor Trollope after marrying novelist and travel writer Thomas Adolphus Trollope. She was part of a remarkably literary circle: through marriage she was connected to Anthony Trollope and to Frances Milton Trollope, whose life and work she would later chronicle.
She wrote both fiction and biography. Her best-known work is Frances Trollope: Her Life and Literary Work from George III to Victoria (1895), a substantial two-volume biography of her mother-in-law. She also published novels including That Wild Wheel, and her work places her within the busy world of late Victorian popular fiction.
Frances Eleanor Trollope died on August 14, 1913. Though she is not as widely read now as some members of the Trollope family, her books still offer a useful window into Victorian literary life and the networks of writers surrounding the Trollopes.
