Synopsis
The second novel of Anthony Trollope’s “Chronicles of Barsetshire” series and widely considered one of his best and most popular works, “Barchester Towers” was published in 1857 and continues the story of Mr. Harding and his daughter Eleanor in the beautiful cathedral city of Barchester. Upon the death of the popular and beloved bishop, the citizens fully expect his son, Archdeacon Grantly, to fill the vacancy. Much to their consternation, however, the far more Evangelical Bishop Proudie is given the position. A struggle for power ensues between these traditional and new forces. Mrs. Proudie, the Bishop’s overbearing wife, and the Bishop’s new chaplain, the distasteful and hypocritical Mr. Slope, use their power to control the selection of the new warden of the local hospital over the objections of the rest of the clergy. Clerical reinforcements are called in on both sides and the struggle between the different factions of the church plays out amid the romantic entanglements and dramas of the town’s inhabitants. In the end, the results are more than satisfactory for Eleanor and other citizens of Barchester in this witty comedy. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Barchester Towers, published in 1857, is the second novel in Anthony Trollope's series known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire. Among other things it satirises the then raging antipathy in the Church of England between High Church and Evangelical adherents. Trollope began writing this book in 1855. He wrote constantly, and made himself a writing-desk so he could continue writing while travelling by train. Pray know that when a man begins writing a book he never gives over, he wrote in a letter during this period. The evil with which he is beset is as inveterate as drinking - as exciting as gambling. And, years later in his autobiography, he observed In the writing of Barchester Towers I took great delight. The bishop and Mrs. Proudie were very real to me, as were also the troubles of the archdeacon and the loves of Mr. Slope. But when he submitted his finished work, his publisher, William Longman, initially turned it down, finding much of it to be full of vulgarity and exaggeration. More recent critics offer a more sanguine opinion. Barchester Towers is many readers' favourite Trollope, wrote The Guardian, which included it in its list of 1000 novels everyone must read.
