There are quite a lot of people this could be.
Did they write any of the works on this list?

Yes

I'm in a tough spot. I've narrowed it down to 4, but having asked the last question I can't ask a final narrowing-down question and then make a guess.

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 182
Those two were on my list. Since the guess rush is now on, I'll go with Wilkie Collins.
Re: Twenty Questions - Game 182
Well unless either Damo or Wikipedia made a mistake, this game will be over soon.
Re: Twenty Questions - Game 182
The game was up with the list. I was quite surprised Trollope had so many on the list.
Re: Twenty Questions - Game 182
When I posted it I hadn't realized how much of the list was the same authors over and over again.

Re: Twenty Questions - Game 182
Great! Next round up in a bit.
Fun fact: you could actually make a case for Carroll [Charles Dodgson] as a "prominent scientific figure", depending on your definition. He was a mathematician who developed an original method for computing determinants of matrices; the method of Dodgson condensation is still used to this day for certain theoretical computations.
(Apocryphal story: Queen Victoria wrote to Carroll saying that she loved Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and would be happy to read anything else that he had written. Carroll sent him a copy of the math textbook he wrote.)
Re: Twenty Questions - Game 182
I almost ruled Trollope out as he was a political figure. He ran for the Liberals but was never elected. So certainly not a "political leader" and the question was correctly answered, but it did cause me pause.
