Review
"What gives this biography weight is not the uncovering of any new facts, but the engaging sympathy Glendinning has for Trollope's mind, as she deftly weaves into the pattern of his outward life multiple references to events and themes in his fiction. Family, religion, politics, marriage— the great topics of Trollope's canon— are explored in abundant detail. Glendinning's biography succeeds not only as the story of a creative genius but also as a critical appreciation of the novels, which she knows thoroughly."
