Synopsis

The Last Chronicle of Barset (1867) by Anthony Trollope is one of the charming series of loosely connected novels set in Barsetshire. This is the sixth and final book to appear in the series, but may be read as a standalone work, and enjoyed on its own merits.

A deeply impoverished clergyman, the Reverend Josiah Crowley, Perpetual Curate of Hogglestock, is unfairly accused of stealing a cheque. This accusation of theft resonates upon his family, in particular his daughter Grace whose marriage prospects are compromised. Much of Barsetshire is consumed with gossip and speculation before Crowley's perfect innocence is revealed and his reputation restored.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.

From the Back Cover:

I can never bring myself to believe it, John; said Mary Walker, the pretty daughter of Mr. George Walker, attorney of Silverbridge. Walker and Winthrop was the name of the firm, and they were respectable people, who did all the solicitors' business that had to be done in that part of Barsetshire on behalf of the crown, were employed on the local business of the Duke of Omnium, who is great in those parts, and altogether held their heads up high, as provincial lawyers often do.
