Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1999. The second in the series of "Oxford Reader's Companions". This illustrated work brings together Anthony Trollope scholars to provide an authoritative and wide-ranging reference source to this figure of 19th-century letters. In more than 500 A-Z entries, Trollope's own life, his works, and the historical and social context in which he lived are all explored in detail. Familiar aspects, such as his work at the Post Office and his series of novels, appear alongside items only recently addressed by scholars: his work as a biographer and journalist; the importance of his extensive travels abroad; and the astonishing reappraisal of his work over the last few decades. This book is intended for lecturers and teachers of Victorian literature, scholars and students of Victorian literature at all levels and general readers interested in Trollope.
