An Autobiography of Anthony Trollope
E-text prepared by Jesse Chandler and revised by Joseph E. Loewenstein, M.D.
"An Autobiography of Anthony Trollope" by Anthony Trollope is an autobiographical account written in the late 19th century. This reflective memoir delves into the life of the author himself, tracing his journey through early hardships, education, and eventual success in the world of literature and public service. The memoir provides insights into Trollope's familial relationships, particularly the influence of his parents, along with candid observations on his feelings of inadequacy and social isolation during his formative years. At the start of the autobiography, Trollope introduces himself as a seemingly insignificant figure, aiming to share not only his life story but also the broader implications of a literary career. He reflects on his difficult boyhood marked by poverty and the challenges faced within educational settings, emphasizing the lack of support from peers and educators. His narrative begins with his early years and schooling, detailing the struggles and societal pressures he encountered. As he recalls his family's deteriorating financial situation and personal hardships, Trollope sets the stage for the evolution of his character and aspirations, ultimately revealing his determination to pursue writing as both a vocation and a means to achieve stability.
