What's so great about Trollope? 7 October, 7pm Courtauld Institute of Art
Should we take Anthony Trollope seriously? Are Barchester Towers, Phineas Finn and The Way We Live Now comfort reading for addicts of the heritage industry and TV costume drama, or is Trollope up there with Dickens, Hardy and the Bronte exponents of the Victorian novel at its most incisively original?
In an event marking the bicentenary of his birth, Jonathan Keates, Kwasi Kwarteng, Michael Symmons Roberts and Joanna Trollope examine his reputation, his surprising narrative range and his often audacious and strikingly humane treatment of controversial themes and characters. BOOK NOW
