Order of Anthony Trollope Books

Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) stands as one of England's most celebrated literary figures, renowned for creating the beloved Chronicles of Barsetshire and Palliser novel series. During the Victorian period, Trollope masterfully captured the era's complex political, social, and gender dynamics through his fiction, earning widespread acclaim from his contemporaries and lasting admiration from future generations.

His devoted readership has included notable figures across various fields: the legendary actor Sir Alec Guinness famously carried Trollope's works wherever he traveled, several British Prime Ministers found solace in his novels, and acclaimed American authors Sue Grafton and Dominick Dunne counted themselves among his admirers. Beyond his literary pursuits, Trollope maintained a career with the postal service throughout much of his writing life.

Trollope's literary journey began with The Macdermots of Ballycloran, penned between 1843 and 1845 before seeing publication in 1847. His prolific career continued until the end, with An Old Man's Love appearing posthumously in 1884 as his final work of fiction. The complete chronological listing of Anthony Trollope's published works appears below:

Among Trollope's notable works, Rachel Ray offers readers an intimate portrait of provincial existence in Baslehurst, Devonshire, following the widow Mrs. Ray and her two daughters—Dorothea, herself widowed, and her younger sister Rachel.

Orley Farm tackles the shortcomings of Britain's legal system and held special significance for Trollope, as his circle of friends regarded it as his finest achievement.
