What I Remember, Volume 2

Thomas Adolphus Trollope jokes that he must have travelled with an inkstand slung to his buttonhole. He was scribbling articles at roadside inns, then setting off again before the ink was dry.

Looking back on the busy years of the 1830s, Trollope turns the yellow pages of diaries that have outlasted both his memory and many of the periodicals that paid him. The road is his paradise: he rambles through England and abroad, noting inns, churches, sermons and the people he meets, while his writing helps pay for coaches, diligences and steamboats. But which scraps of a restless young life deserve to be rescued from the mountains of forgotten detail—and what do those old pages reveal about the man who filled them?
