Opis

Long overshadowed by her more widely read son Anthony, Frances Trollope is best remembered for her travel writing, especially the controversial 'Domestic Manners of the Americans'. Her prolific career as a writer, however, covered and transgressed several genres. This book reassesses Trollope's position in 19th century literary culture.
