Escrito por Anthony Trollope


Oscurecido por otros escritores de la época victoriana como Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins o las hermanas Brontë, Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) fue sumamente popular y apreciado en su época y aguanta en pie de igualdad la comparación con cualquiera de ellos. En sus novelas, como en las de Jane Austen, se puede apreciar un penetrante conocimiento de su época y de las pasiones y resortes que mueven la naturaleza humana.
