About the author
Born in London in 1810, Thomas Adolphus Trollope grew up in one of Britain's most literary families. He was the eldest son of Frances Trollope and the brother of novelist Anthony Trollope, but he built a substantial career of his own as a writer and journalist.
Trollope published widely across travel writing, history, biography, fiction, and periodical journalism, producing more than 60 books. He lived for many years in Italy, especially in Florence and later Rome, and that long residence gave much of his work its distinctive setting and perspective.
His homes in Italy became well-known gathering places for English-speaking literary and social circles. After a long writing life abroad, he returned to England late in life and died in 1892.
