Anthony Trollope was one of the most popular writers of his generation, the one between Dickens and Thackeray on the one hand and such late Victorians as Stevenson and Wilde on the other which saw the greatest popularity and social standing of the Victorian literary novel. However, his posthumous reputation suffered at the hands of fellow novelists who thought him pedestrian, and critics after his death who presumed that no-one so prolific, and able to work to so rigid a schedule, could be inspired. Yet he is now undergoing a critical revival, revealing a daringly progressive thinker on social issues and a fearless and pointed satirist, as well as the well-known masterful and loving drawer of character. The contemporary comparisons with Austen, and Trollope’s own proclamation of Thackeray as his master, are being belatedly rejustified.This edition collects all of Trollope’s major novels and a selection of his short stories, plus his autobiography, his substantial work on the USA written from first-hand research during the Civil War and the biography and critical appreciation of the writer he most revered, Thackeray. All the texts have been newly typeset for this edition.
