Frances Eleanor Trollope, born Frances Eleanor Ternan on August 1, 1835, in Delaware Bay, United States, was a novelist known for her literary contributions in the 19th century. She was the daughter of Frances Eleanor Jarman and Thomas Lawless Ternan. Frances had a strong literary connection through her family, with her sister, Ellen Ternan, being a well-known actress and her brother-in-law, Anthony Trollope, a famous English author. In 1866, she married Thomas Adolphus Trollope, who was also a writer, and together they became part of a literary family. Frances Eleanor Trollope spent much of her later life in England, where she passed away on August 14, 1913, at the age of 78 in Southsea. Her mother-in-law, Frances Milton Trollope, was a prominent novelist, which likely influenced Frances's own literary path. Throughout her career, Frances wrote novels that often explored social and emotional themes, reflecting her keen observations of society and relationships. While she may not have achieved the same level of fame as some of her contemporaries, her works are valued for their insightful commentary on human nature and social dynamics.
