Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
IN 'writing these pages, which, for the want of a better name, I shall be fain to call the autobiography of so insignificant a person as myself, it will not be so much my intention to speak of the little details of my private life, as of what I, and perhaps others round me, have done in literature; of my failures and successes such as they have been, and their cause; and of the opening which a literary career offers to men and women for the earning of their bread. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars A Victorian Life, 20 Mar 2007
By Ralph Blumenau (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Redolent of the Victorian Age, and beautifully written. Some of the amusement comes precisely from his occasional pedantic preaching of Victorian virtues. He is capable of being self-critical. If elsewhere he is self-satisfied, he has much to be self-satisfied about. A man who from the most unpromising beginning came to live life to the full.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, 4 Oct 2008
By Didier (Ghent, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
After having read the six Barsetshire-novels and the six Palliser-novels I was very eager to read the autobiography of the man who had written all those wonderful books and given me so many hours of happy entertainment (and lots of food for thought as well). And I'm happy to say that I enjoyed this book about himself as much as any book Trollope wrote about his fictional characters!

It's all very down-to-earth and easy-going, and although Trollope perhaps never explicitly talks about his inner life (he says so himself: 'It will not, I trust, be supposed by any reader that I have intended in this so-called autobiography to give a record of my inner life. No man ever did so truly, and no man ever will.') you do get a very good 'feel' of what kind of man he was, and a wonderful picture of what life (for certain classes) was like in the Victorian age.

A must-read for all Trollope-lovers, and a worthwhile read even if you've never read anything else by him.
