Trollope, Anthony

Anthony Trollope was born in a higher middle-class family in England in the Victorian era. His father was a less successful lawyer, who had difficulties providing for the large family. Although he didn't know much of agriculture, he embarked on it, but without success. In order to save the economy of the family, Anthony's mother, named Frances, and some of the children went to America to start a business company. This project also failed. The family was now ruined, and their home was sold at compulsory auction. The trip to America did, however, result in a book about American customs. Now, Frances Milton was able to establish herself as an author. She would write some forty entertainment novels.
