One Historical Setting: Mr. Anthony Trollope, visitor lodging somewhere in Brisbane [TBA] (1871)
Anthony Trollope (1815-1882), as the famous novelist, made a major Australasian tour in 1871-1872. Trollope revisited Australia in 1875. An account of his earlier tour was produced as Australia and New Zealand which appeared in 1873; George Robertson brought out an Australian edition.
Queensland historian, Ross Johnston, first saw the local significance of Trollope in ‘The Call of the Land’. The literary talent of Trollope was the opportunities for locals to read their own self-perceptions.
