Frances Trollope Bücher
10. März 1780 – 6. Oktober 1863
Frances Milton Trollope war eine produktive englische Autorin, die für ihre scharfsinnigen Gesellschaftsromane bekannt ist. Ihre Werke befassten sich oft mit drängenden Problemen ihrer Zeit, von Korruption in der Kirche bis zur Ungerechtigkeit der Sklaverei, und beeinflussten nachfolgende Schriftsteller maßgeblich. Trollope scheute sich nicht, kontroverse Themen zu erforschen, und ihre Reiseberichte bieten lebendige Darstellungen des europäischen Lebens. Ihr literarisches Erbe liegt in ihrem kühnen sozialen Kommentar und ihrem Einfluss auf die Entwicklung von Genres wie dem Gesellschaftsroman.
Der Reisebericht der lebenslustigen Britin stellt sicherlich eines der schillerndsten und unterhaltsamsten Dokumente über das Wien des Vormärz dar – ein spannender Einblick in eine längst untergegangene Welt. Auch bei einem Spaziergang durch das heutige Wien kann dieses Buch als unterhaltsamer Reisebegleiter dienen.
