Anthony Trollope was one of the most successful, prolific and respected novelists of the Victorian era.

His perceptive novels remain relevant today, and his reputation continues to grow with each passing year. In 2015 we celebrated the bicentenary of his birth on 24th April, 1815.

Sit down and write your letter; write it with all the venom in your power; spit out your spleen at the fullest; 'twill do you good ... say all that you can say with all your poisoned eloquence, and gratify yourself by reading it while your temper is still hot. Then put it in your desk; and, as a matter of course, burn it before breakfast the following morning.
