Talk by Frank O'Connor
Because of his Autobiography, Frank O'Connor suggests, ' Trollope is the architect of his own reputation, and that reputation is far less than that to which he is entitled.' For reasons which he advances in his talk, Frank O'Connor believes Trollope to be the greatest of the English novelists.
