Frances Milton Trollope - Paris and the Parisians in 1835 - Volume II

Frances Milton Trollope, born in 1779, became a prominent author at fifty, driven by the need for income. Her first book, Domestic Manners of the Americans, offered a witty yet critical perspective on American society. Notably, she wrote the first anti-slavery novel, Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw, influencing Harriet Beecher Stowe. Additionally, she pioneered the industrial novel with Michael Armstrong: Factory Boy and critiqued the Church of England in The Vicar of Wrexhill. Her most acclaimed work is the Widow Barnaby trilogy, among over 100 volumes she authored before her death in 1863.
