Frances Milton Trollope was een productief Engels auteur, bekend om haar scherpe sociale romans. Haar werken pakten vaak dringende kwesties van haar tijd aan, van corruptie binnen de kerk tot de onrechtvaardigheden van slavernij, en beïnvloedden latere schrijvers aanzienlijk.

Haar literaire nalatenschap ligt in haar gedurfde sociale commentaar en haar impact op de ontwikkeling van genres zoals de sociale roman.
