Publisher Description: Publishers of Anthony Trollope's first novel omitted his first name, hoping to pass it off as the work of his bestselling mother. Since then Fanny Trollope, acclaimed in her day for witty books on property and society--the same themes favored by her famous (and even more popular) son--has languished in his shadow. Certainly this owes something to Anthony's harsh evaluation of his mother's work. "Fanny Trollope" gives a fascinating account of their complex relationship, until now largely untold. In the tradition of Phyllis Rose's "Parallel Lives," Pamela Neville-Sington reclaims the forgotten story of a widow who fearlessly penned thirty-five novels and six travel books in her own--female--name, supported a large family with her writing, and shocked a staid Victorian world with her tart opinions. Solidly researched and rich in detail, this biography encompasses the fashion, art, literature, and politics of Fanny's milieu; its concept of women, and the hardships they faced; the obsessive materialism; and the utopian and spiritualist fads of the times. Browning called her vulgar and pushy, but Trollope was flattered when rumors claimed that she was the anonymous author of "Vanity Fair." Now this rejected literary matriarch emerges as an unforgettably "clever woman."
