The Trollope Prize is administered by the English department at the University of Kansas, with support from the Hall Center for the Humanities. The Prize was established to focus attention on Trollope's work and career; it is designed to help promote the study of Trollope in college classrooms and to encourage student engagement with both Trollope's work and Victorian literary history through their own intensive research and writing.
