An Autobiography of Anthony Trollope
Anthony Trollope wrote his autobiography in the mid-1870s and left it to be published after his death; it appeared in 1883, edited by his son Henry. He describes a miserable, impoverished schooling, the energy of his mother, who supported the family by writing, his career in the Post Office and the move to Ireland that made him, and then the novels one by one, from the early failures to Barchester Towers and beyond. Later chapters discuss the art of the novel, his contemporaries and criticism. Its candor about method, discipline and the money each book earned shocked some readers and damaged his reputation for a time, and it remains one of the most direct accounts of a writing life.
