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! Each seminar is led by one of the members of the group, and everyone’s participation is welcomed. They are a friendly and relaxed way to enjoy Trollope, share your thoughts as well as find out more from other enthusiasts.

We are working hard to raise the profile of Anthony Trollope. Our resources are limited, and our ambition great, so we’re asking for your help. You can donate using your credit card, debit card, or PayPal account.
