Anthony Trollope was one of the most successful, prolific and respected novelists of the Victorian era.

The Trollope Society has a world-wide membership and exists to promote and publish Trollope's works, provide a forum for exploring his life, and encourage enjoyment of his writing for future generations.

God is good to us, and heals those wounds with a rapidity which seems to us impossible when we look forward, but is regarded with very insufficient wonder when we look backward.
