Anthony Trollope wrote forty-seven novels: three times as many as Dickens. The average standard of them all is extremely high, and the vast majority are as readable and enjoyable today as The Warden or Barchester Towers. Yet, over 100 years after the author´s death, no complete edition has been published. The historian Paul Johnson called this extraordinary omission "absurd and humiliating", and said "We owe it to our national honor to put this right".

The American Trollope Society was created in 1989 in New York in respond to American enthusiasts. Its purpose, like its precursor in England, is to promote interest in - and awareness of - the work of Anthony Trollope. To that end, members here are entitled to purchase, from the Trollope Society in London, volumes from their Complete Edition of Trollope´s novels. The first four novels were published in 1989, and that Society will continue to produce four books each year until the project is completed in the year 2000.

Philip Ziegler wrote in the Sunday Telegraph: "One of the delights of this edition is that each six-monthly package contains one well-known and one obscurer work. Ayala´s Angel comes escorted by Can You Forgive Her?, Dr Wortle´s School by Phineas Finn. Only the most assiduous Trollopian will encounter no new experiences as the great procession wends its way pleasurable. To invest in the entire series is like laying down a cellar of good wine - a gesture of confidence in the future."
