Anthony Trollope (April 24, 1815 - December 6, 1882), was born in London. He was a leading Victorian novelist of the mid-19th century. He struggled to make a living in London, but in 1841, he was offered a transfer to Ireland where he got a break with his life, and eventually with his writing.

Between 1855 and 1866, Trollope published six novels about the extended families, parishioners and civil service workers living in an imaginary county of Barsetshire, novels such as The Warden, Barchester Towers, and The Last Chronicle of Barset, all of which were best-sellers. He also wrote some books in other genres.
