Об авторе (2022)

Anthony Trollope, an English novelist of the Victorian era, holds a distinguished position in British literature for his acute observations of the social and political milieus of his time. Born on April 24, 1815, in London, Trollope endured a tumultuous childhood marked by financial distress and domestic instability. Nevertheless, these experiences informed his robust literary works. Notably, Trollope's contributions to the genre of the novel were substantial, comprising an extensive portfolio of at least 47 novels, numerous short stories, and several travel books. His narratives were celebrated for their intricate character development and for delivering incisive portrayals of the various strata of society. 'The Small House at Allington' (1864), part of the revered 'Chronicles of Barsetshire' series, is emblematic of Trollope's literary style—replete with rich, realistic characterizations and a narrative constructed with interwoven strands of romance, social scrutiny, and gentle satire. This particular novel follows the lives and loves of the Dale family in the fictional county of Barsetshire and is often highlighted for its vivid depiction of the heroine, Lily Dale, a paradigm of Victorian womanhood. Trollope's legacy persists through the depths of his exploration into personal and societal relationships, influencing the development of the English novel with his distinctive blend of realism and commentary. He passed away on December 6, 1882, leaving behind a rich oeuvre that continues to attract literary scholars and general readers alike.
