Excerpt from The Princeton Review, Vol. 59: July-December, 1883 Trollope left behind him. There are no less than forty of these, besides three volumes of stories, all written within thirty-five years. This is at the rate of more than one a year; a remark able average, and still more remarkable when we consider the amount of other work which the author accomplished. In 1864, 1865, 1872, 1875, and 1881, two novels were published in each year; 1867 and 1870 each produced two, besides a volume of stories; 1879 two, besides the biography of Thackeray; and 1882 three, besides the biography of Lord Palmerston. On the other hand, five unproductive years elapsed between the appear ance of La Vendee in 1850 and The Warden in 1855. The explanation of such prolificness coupled with a merit so uniform is to be found in the character of the work which Trol lope undertook and in the methods which he was able to adopt for its performance.
