If you need to know about middle class 19th century England, he's your man. Austen, Elliot and the Brontës are all about people and emotions, and Dickens is too much social commentary, but Trollope covers smaller injustices. He does explore people though. There is a point to his fiction.

"The Way We Live Now".  Long but easy to read.  Bit of an epic or soap opera type feel, as I remember.  Liked it, will probably read some more of his sometime.

Captain once asked if he could get him some trollop; Flashman was disappointed to hear she's an author.
