Anthony Trollope

Anthony Trollope was born in London in 1815. His father's money troubles made his schooling at Harrow and Winchester unhappy, and the family fled to Belgium to escape debts. His mother, Frances Trollope, began writing in middle age and supported the family with her books. In 1834 Anthony became a junior clerk in the General Post Office, and in 1841 he was sent to Ireland, where his career improved and he began writing novels. He is credited with introducing the pillar box, the red street mailbox, to Britain. The Warden (1855) and Barchester Towers (1857) began his six Chronicles of Barsetshire, set in an imaginary cathedral county, and the Palliser novels followed politics in London. Trollope wrote each morning before work to a set number of words and produced 47 novels as well as travel books. He left the Post Office in 1867 and ran unsuccessfully for Parliament. His Autobiography appeared after his death in London in 1882.
