She was born at Stapleton near Bristol, married in 1809 Thomas A. Trollope, a barrister, who fell into financial misfortune. She then in 1827 went with her family to Cincinnati, where the efforts which she made to support herself were unsuccessful, though she encouraged Hiram Powers to do Dante Alighieri's Commedia in waxworks. On her return to England, however, she brought herself into notice by publishing Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832), in which she gave an unfavourable and somewhat exaggerated account of the subject, reflecting the disparaging views of American society commonplace among English people of the higher social classes at that time; and a novel, The Refugee in America, pursued it on similar lines. Next came The Abbess and Belgium and Western Germany, and other works of the same kind on Paris and the Parisians, and Vienna and the Austrians followed.

Trollope also, however, wrote several strong novels of social protest: Michael Armstrong: Factory Boy began publication in 1840 and was the first industrial novel to be published in Britain. Other socially conscious novels included Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw about the evils of slavery, and The Vicar of Wrexhill, which took on church corruption. In later years she continued to pour forth novels and books on miscellaneous subjects, writing in all over 100 volumes. Though possessed of considerable powers of observation and a sharp and caustic wit, such an output was fatal to permanent literary success, and few of her books are now read. She spent the last 20 years of her life at Florence, where she died in 1863.
