Anthony Trollope

    24. duben 1815 – 6. prosinec 1882

    Anthony Trollope se stal jedním z nejúspěšnějších, nejplodnějších a nejrespektovanějších anglických romanopisců viktoriánské éry. Jeho díla, jako jsou například slavné Kroniky z Barsetshiru, se soustředí na smyšlené hrabství Barsetshire.

Trollopeovy romány jsou oceňovány pro svůj vhled do lidské povahy a společenských mechanismů.
