About the book
Anthony Trollope himself recounts his life with characteristic frankness: his impoverished childhood, his years at the English postal service, his discovery of the craft of writing and his remarkable literary success. Trollope offers valuable insights into his composition method—that disciplined regimen of daily writing that produced more than forty novels—and into literary life in the Victorian era.
More than a simple chronological narrative, this autobiography is a meditation on creative work, persistence and professional ethics. A fascinating document for anyone wishing to understand how a great novelist developed his talent and maintained an extraordinary career.
