Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was one of the most successful prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. He wrote penetrating novels on political social and gender issues and conflicts of his day. In 1867 Trollope left his position in the British Post Office to run for Parliament as a Liberal candidate in 1868. After he lost he concentrated entirely on his literary career. While continuing to produce novels rapidly he also edited the St Paul's Magazine which published several of his novels in serial form. His first major success came with The Warden (1855) - the first of six novels set in the fictional county of Barsetshire. The comic masterpiece Barchester Towers (1857) has probably become the best-known of these.
