Join us as we celebrate the 150th anniversary of the publication of Phineas Redux. From 7th August to 16th October 2023 join Trollope enthusiasts from across the world every two weeks to discuss Phineas Redux as we read it together on Zoom.

Phineas Redux was first published in book format by London, Chapman and Hall, December 1873. 2 vols. Originally published in The Graphic, July 19, 1873 – January 10, 1874.
