Anthony Trollope earned renown as the inventor of the quintessentially English county of Barsetshire, and though just a few of his forty-seven novels leave England to venture into foreign lands for any sustained period, their author was “a robust, indefatigable, unstoppable traveler”: a resident of Ireland for nearly twenty years; a man who made his first tour to the Continent in 1853 and thereafter “would go abroad almost every year of his life”1; a voyager to the Mediterranean and the Middle East, to the West Indies and Central America, to North America (twice), to Australia (twice) and New Zealand, to South Africa and Iceland. He circled the globe two times. Some of these journeys were made in Trollope’s official capacity as a representative of the British Postal Service, others as a private citizen: both his trips to Australia were connected to the fortunes of his son, who had set up as a sheep-herder in New South Wales. Few Englishmen of the age not in the military or the diplomatic corps could rival Trollope in miles covered and countries seen. Out of his travels came the substantial non-fiction books The West Indies and the Spanish Main (1859), North America (2 vols., 1862), Australia and New Zealand (2 vols., 1873), and South Africa (2 vols., 1877), in addition to numerous periodical pieces later collected in Travelling Sketches (1866) and, posthumously, The Tireless Traveller: Twenty Letters to the Liverpool Mercury, 1875 (1941), this last describing his second trip to Australia.
