Paperback. Etat : COLLECTIBLE- NEAR FIN. First Edition, First Printing. Text/NEW. First Edition, First Printing. Softcover w/photo portrait of Trollope/NF.Trace soiing to front cover verso & fEP. 335 pgs. in 20 chapters. Autobiography of long beloved English novelist and civil servant Anthony Trollope (1815- 1882) of the Victorian era, known for the series Chronicles of Barsetshire, Trollope was prolific & disciplined. . Having publsihing some 47 works including novels on political, social, gender issues & other topical matters, led many to suspect he wrote for monetary gains alone. This autobiography, written between 1875/1876, posthumously published 1883, was an instant success. In this candide book Trollope shared his to writing --- revealing he strictly fulfilled a daily writing quota, with expectations of revenue. Given his civil service career (postal service), and, a last minute loss of designated family inheritance, ought he be denied being an artist sensitive to financial pragmaticsm? Romantically inclined, literally critics would have him write only when "inspired". Here, Trollope, the man, the artist, the writer speaks for himself. N° de réf. du vendeur 020016
