Barchester Towers
In The Warden, the kind, innocent Reverence Septimus Harding is challenged by indignant church reformers - while his lovely daughter Eleanor finds herself, to his dismay, falling in love with her father's accuser.
Trollope's lively story continues in Barchester Towers, regarded by many as his masterpiece. Here the formidable Mrs. Proudie, the bishop's wife, does battle with both her one-time protege Mr. Slope and the conservative party led by Archdeacon Grantly; the result is social comedy of the highest order.
Trollope's comic masterpiece of plotting and backstabbing opens as the Bishop of Barchester lies on his deathbed. Soon a pitched battle breaks out over who will take power, involving, among others, the zealous reformer Dr Proudie, his fiendish wife and the unctuous schemer Obadiah Slope.
Barchester Towers is one of the best-loved novels in Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire series, which captured nineteenth-century provincial England with wit, worldly wisdom and an unparalleled gift for characterization. It is the second book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire.
