by Richard Mullen
This book, published in 1990 is clearly written by a Trollope enthusiast and is none the worse for that. It is a very readable and comprehensive introduction to the man and his writing. It quotes widely from the novels showing how his writing is drawn from his life which was lived at a crazy pace. As well as writing 80 books he had a 30 year career in the post office and travelled widely around the globe and Europe.
The writing is very readable and the author's asides (mimicking Trollope?) are very amusing. A very enjoyable read. 9/10
