Anthony Trollope: 1 (Writers and Their Work) - Softcover

This study relates Trollope to the broad Victorian culture to which he offered a distinctive, creative response. It looks particularly at the nature and quality of his political intelligence and at his grasp of processes of manipulation, personal interaction, media/press exploitation and the integration of the private and the public. It also assesses Trollope's continuing popularity as a writer - outselling many of his more critically `esteemed' contemporaries in the late 20th Century.

Andrew Sanders is Professor of English at Durham University and is the author of many works on Victorian literature.
