Matters which are dealt with fully in the Autobiography, such as his schooldays, his post office work, and particularly his writing will be discussed but in addition mention will be made of matters which he glosses over. His marriage is a notable example, which Glendinning does discuss.

TROLLOPE SOCIETY
TWENTY SIXTH ANNUAL GENERAL
MEETING AND ANNUAL
LECTURE


will take place at the National Liberal Club, Whitehall Place, London SW1A 2HE

Folowing the AGM, the twenty sixth Annual Lecture was given by Alex Preston, entitled ‘THE WAY WE LIVED THEN AND NOW’

This lecture will look at the importance and relevance of Trollope to modern exponents of the State of the Nation Novel, from Sebastian Faulks to John Lanchester to Amanda Craig. ‘The Way We Live Now’ is regularly cited as the model for attempts to address the post-financial crisis nation – what is the novel’s enduring appeal and what lessons can we learn from Trollope with which to address the Britain of 2013?
Alex Preston is a bestselling novelist and journalist. His first book, ‘This Bleeding City’, won the Spear’s and Edinburgh Festival best first book awards. His second, ‘The Revelations’ was published by Faber and Faber in 2012. He is a panellist on BBC2’s ‘The Review Show’ and Radio 4’s ‘Saturday Review’ and writes regularly for the Observer and the New Statesman. He is the wicketkeeper/batsman for the Author’s Cricket Club whose book, ‘From Hackney to Hambledon’ will be published by Bloomsbury this summer.
