The company was "one of the last major seafood processors in Gloucester," according to The Gloucester Daily Times.
Anthony Trollope, who, like Charles Dickens was born in England in the mid-1810s, wrote 47 novels, several plays and a famous Autobiography … yet he is virtually unknown in America. Many of his novels, such as The Warden, the first in a series of novels called the Barchester Chronicles, were extremely popular in Victorian England. In fact, many considered Trollope a superior novelist to Dickens.
In America, however, everyone knows Charles Dickens – if only from A Christmas Carol, featuring Scrooge, who has come down through the ages as a beloved rascal and is even a word in the dictionary. Dickens is also famous as the author of Oliver Twist, which has been made into plays and movies – and, of course, for his great novels, David Copperfield, Great Expectations, and A Tale of Two Cities. Dickens is a household name.
