About the author
Born in London in 1810, he was the eldest son of Frances Trollope and the older brother of novelist Anthony Trollope. Over the course of his career he wrote more than 60 books, including travel writing, history, fiction, and journalism.
He spent most of his adult life in Italy, especially in Florence and later Rome, where he and his household became well known in expatriate literary society. That long residence shaped much of his work, which often focused on Italian life, culture, and politics.
He was married first to Theodosia Garrow Trollope and later to Frances Eleanor Trollope, both of them writers as well. In his later years he returned to England, and he died in 1892.
