    Anthony Trollope

    <p><b>Anthony Trollope</b> nació en Londres en 1815, hijo de un abogado en bancarrota y de Frances Trollope, que, tras fracasar montando un bazar en Cincinatti, escribió <i>Usos y costumbres de los americanos</i> (ALBA CLÁSICA núm. XLVIII), con la que inició una carrera literaria que le reportó fama y prosperidad económica. Anthony se educó en Harrow, Sunbury y Winchester, donde se sintió a disgusto entre los miembros de la aristocracia, y nunca llegó a la Universidad. En 1824 empezó a trabajar en el servicio de correos, donde permanecería hasta 1867. Tras siete años en Londres fue trasladado a Irlanda, y de ahí a nuevos destinos por el Reino Unido, Egipto y las Indias Occidentales.</p> <p>En 1847 publicó su primera novela, <i>The Macdermots of Ballycloran</i>, y en 1855 <i>El custodio</i>, la primera del ciclo ambientado en la mítica ciudad de Barchester (trasunto de Winchester) y en las intrigas políticas de su clero. Este ciclo lo consolidó como autor realista y le dio una gran popularidad. En 1864 inició con <i>Can You Forgive Her?</i> otro ciclo, el de las novelas de Palliser, en el que retrataría los entresijos de la vida política y matrimonial de los parlamentarios londinenses. En 1868 él mismo se presentó como candidato liberal a las elecciones, pero no fue elegido. Entre sus últimas obras cabe destacar <i>The Way We Live Now</i> (1875), una gran sátira del capitalismo. Murió en Londres en 1882.</p>

    • 5/5
      Is there a Victorian novelist who handles love triangles as well as Trollope, with the exception perhaps of Henry James?



      The Claverings is Trollope at his finest. With his usual skill, he presents us with characters who are all flawed and therefore human, led by greed, power, rank, status, and sheer narcissism; at the same time, however, Trollope is a skillful writer, able to dig deep into the psychological makeup of his characters to provide compelling reasons for their actions, and also elicit a sympathy for even the most grotesque deeds.



      Harry Clavering finds himself in an awkward position: two years ago, he was jilted by his first love, Julia Brabazon, so that she could make a more financially advantageous marriage to Lord Ongar. When Julia returns—as Lady Ongar, after the death of her much older (and horribly unjust) husband—Harry has already pledged himself to another woman, Florence Burton.

      The one who got away returns, then, and sets The Claverings into motion, a novel with a cast of characters as diverse as a Russian spy, a belligerent and lowly curate, and a captain whose answer to matters of the heart is almost always extortion. To give any more away would spoil the meticulous structure of the novel, where Trollope reveals things and always remains in command of his reader.

      The Claverings may well be the best place to begin with Trollope; sadly, however, it also seems to be one of the most under-read of his novels.
    • 4/5
      Julia refuses to marry Harry, because he is poor, and accepts the dissolute Lord Ongar instead. He makes her life a misery and causes unfounded rumours to be spread about her, before dying and leaving her a rich widow. Julia is left isolated and rekindles her friendship with Harry, who has become engaged to Florence, a fact he omits to mention to Julia...As ever in Trollope, the hero is very weak and imperfect and the women strong and brave. Florence should have dumped Harry while she had the chance and he and the unlikeable Julia deserved each other. Mme Gordeloup was an entertaining villain, although her brother petered out with a bit of a whimper. I enjoyed Archie and Doodles for a bit of comic relief. I never quite worked out why Hermione and Sir Hugh didn't go on trying for an heir - they were both still young. The double tragedy towards the end was heavily foreshadowed and poured even more blessings on the undeserving Harry, so that he didn't even have to work for a living. Fanny and Mr Saul were very sweet.
