One of the most popular and beloved writers of the nineteenth
century, Anthony Trollope was also an insatiably curious traveler.
He was the quintessential Victorian voyager -- adventurous and
energetic, with a fine sense of humor and irony -- and his career
in the General Post Office gave him the opportunity, to travel
widely. By 1882 he had been twice around the world.
These selections from his reports on North America, the West
Indies, Australia and New Zealand, and South Africa make for
delightful reading, as fresh as when they were written. And they
reveal Trollope as a professional and enthusiastic investigator of
political, social, and economic conditions. To read his travel
writings, suggests Graham Handley, "is to become aware of the
character of the man and the qualities which make him one of the
most interesting literary personalities of his time. His enthusiasm
for life, like his enthusiasm for writing, was uncurbed to the
end."
