Anthony Trollope was among the most prolific, popular, and
richly diverse writers of the mid-Victorian period, with
forty-seven novels and a variety of other writings to his name.
Both a serial and series writer whose novels traversed Ireland,
England, Australia and New Zealand, and genres from realism to
science fiction, Trollope also published criticism, short fiction,
travel writing and biography. The Cambridge Companion to Anthony
Trollope provides a state-of-the-field review of critical
perspectives on his work, with the volume's sixteen essays
addressing Trollope's biography, autobiography, canonical fiction,
short stories and travel writing, as well as surveying diverse
topics including gender, sexuality, vulgarity, and the law.
