About This Item
London: Folio Society, 1974. First thus. Hardcover, in slipcase. Near fine/Near fine. Frances Trollope (1779 - 1863), was an English novelist who wrote as Mrs. Trollope or Mrs. Frances Trollope. Her book, Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832), observations from a trip to the United States, is the best known.
She also wrote social novels: one against slavery is said to have influenced Harriet Beecher Stowe, and she also wrote the first industrial novel, and two anti-Catholic novels, which used a Protestant position to examine self-making. Some recent scholars note that modernist critics have omitted women writers such as Frances Trollope. In 1839, The New Monthly Magazine claimed, "No other author of the present day has been at once so read, so much admired, and so much abused".
Two of her sons, Thomas Adolphus and Anthony, became writers, as did her daughter-in-law Frances Eleanor Trollope, second wife of Thomas Adolphus Trollope.
This copy is near fine with gray cloth spine. Minor sunning on the spine is the only issue. No other marks or damage, since it's been protected in its slipcase. The slipcase has minor fading at the edges where it was exposed.
Synopsis
