Paperback. Condition: Fair. 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.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. Small 8vo. Pp. xi, [2], 3-501. With a postscript by the author. Bound in plum cloth with author's monogram in gilt on front board; title block in gilt on spine. Spine just a touch sunned; bookseller tag on front pastedown (Collets, Hempstead). In the illustrated dust jacket, spine darkened but price remains intact on front panel. A follow-up, of sorts, to the author's Fanny by Gaslight, inasmuch as the Victorian underworld is depicted with accurate verisimilitude. Sadleir's historical view was informed by his scholarship of Victorian literature, and pursuits in Victorian bibliography. He and his father were also keen art collectors, and are credited with introducing Kandinsky, and especially his theories of abstract art, to the West. As such, and as a publisher at Constable, Sadleir's choice of John Piper as dust jacket and frontispiece illustrator (image is repeated), should be taken for full value. Dust jacket is now protected in a removable, clear archival sleeve. John Piper (dust jacket and frontispiece) (illustrator).…
