THE TROLLOPE PRIZE (USA)
The Trollope Prize is awarded annually to the best undergraduate essay in English on the works of Anthony Trollope. A contemporary of Charles Dickens, Trollope was a prolific author of essays, travel books, and novels, including Barchester Towers and The Eustace Diamonds. He is best known for his depictions of upper-class English life.
The Trollope Prize was established by anonymous benefactors to encourage the reading and enjoyment of this important yet under-read literary giant of the 19th century. The Expository Writing Program at Harvard University is pleased to administer this important prize.
The writer of the winning essay will receive $2,500, as well as a hard-cover copy of one of Trollope's forty-seven novels. The essay will be published on the Trollope Prize website and eventually be included in a collection of Trollope Prize-winning essays.
Submissions are invited from around the world and must be in English. Comparative essays, such as those comparing the work of Trollope and Austen or Trollope and Dickens, will also be considered. Each submitted essay must be sponsored by a faculty member from the English department, or other humanities department, of the writer's undergraduate institution. The faculty sponsor of the winning essay receives $1,000 for curriculum development; the sponsor's department receives $500. Second and third place prizes may also be awarded.
Submissions must be received by 4 p.m. on June 1 each year. A panel of distinguished scholars will judge the submissions, and the writer of the prizewinning essay and the faculty sponsor will be notified in September. Results will be posted on the Trollope Prize website. For results of past Trollope Prize competitions, select "Prize Results" from the menu above.
