Trollope the Traveller: Selections from Anthony Trollope's Travel Writings

Trollope the Traveller: Selections from Anthony Trollope's Travel Writings

Anthony Trollope
3.5/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
One of the most popular and beloved writers of the nineteenth century, Anthony Trollope was also an insatiably curious traveler. He was the quintessential Victorian voyager -- adventurous and energetic, with a fine sense of humor and irony -- and his career in the General Post Office gave him the opportunity, to travel widely. By 1882 he had been twice around the world.These selections from his reports on North America, the West Indies, Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa make for delightful reading, as fresh as when they were written. And they reveal Trollope as a professional and enthusiastic investigator of political, social, and economic conditions. To read his travel writings, suggests Graham Handley, "is to become aware of the character of the man and the qualities which make him one of the most interesting literary personalities of his time. His enthusiasm for life, like his enthusiasm for writing, was uncurbed to the end."
