Trollope Society Seminar Groups

Seminar groups are run by the Trollope Society. Seminar groups are a great way to read Trollope. With so many novels to choose from they provide an excellent reason to read the lesser well known works, as well as to reread the favourites. They are a friendly and relaxed way to enjoy Trollope, share your thoughts as well as find out more from other enthusiasts.
