Autor

Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era, known for his insightful and satirical depiction of the mid-19th-century British society. Trollope's prolific output includes 47 novels, numerous short stories, and several books on travel. Among his best-known works are the 'Chronicles of Barsetshire' and the 'Palliser' series. His writing style is characterized by a richly detailed and realistic narrative that often explores the moral dilemmas faced by his characters, reflecting the changing social landscape of the times. 'Linda Tressel' (1868), although not as widely celebrated as some of his other publications, exemplifies Trollope's ability to delve into the lives of the provincial middle class and the pressures exerted upon the individual by societal norms and expectations. The tale of its eponymous heroine presents a critical look at the institution of marriage and the plight of women in 19th-century England, an aspect of his literature that frequently outshined in social commentary. Genealogically located between 'He Knew He Was Right' (1869) and 'Phineas Redux' (1874), 'Linda Tressel' continues to speak to contemporary readers through its timeless exploration of human nature and societal constraints. His work not only offers entertainment but also serves as an important historical lens through which the nuances of Victorian life can be examined.
