Afterword By Robert Daniel. 536 pages. paperback. CP178. Cover: Tsao. keywords: Signet Classic Paperback Literature England 19th Century. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Who is to rule the diocese of Barchester? This is the burning question that shapes Anthony Trollope's comic masterpiece - fanning the flames of ambition, and invading the once peaceful air of a cathedral town with the spirits of cunning, malice, greed. When the redoubtable Mrs. Proudie and the indomitable Mr. Slope meet the unflinching opposition of the forces of Archdeacon Grantly, the spiritual terrain is transformed into a theater of war. Social calls become skirmishes. Parties are arranged like pitched battles. And not even the most innocent can escape the intricate net of stratagem that Trollope weaves in this satiric revelation of mid - Victorian manners and morality. Justly famous for its incisive characterizations and acute social delineation, BARCHESTER TOWERS offers an engrossing re - creation of a captivating age. Robert W. Daniel calls this work 'a masterpiece in the grand tradition of English comedy.' George Saintsbury judged it 'emphatically its author's best novel,' and Sir Hugh Walpole commented,' 'There is in BARCHESTER TOWERS, I swear, not a dull moment.' inventory #31513.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Part of the Barsetshire series, this is one of Trollope's most vivid and comic novelsAfter the death of old Dr Grantly, a bitter struggle begins over who will succeed him as Bishop of Barchester. And when the decision is finally made to appoint the evangelical Dr Proudie, rather than the son of the old bishop, Archdeacon Grantly, resentment and suspicion threaten to cause deep divisions within the diocese. Trollope's masterly depiction of the plotting and back-stabbing that ensues lies at the heart of one of the most vivid and comic of his Barsetshire novels, peopled by such very different figures as the saintly Warden of Hiram's Hospital, Septimus Harding, the ineffectual but well-meaning new bishop and his terrifying wife, and the oily chaplain Mr Slope who has designs on Mr Harding's daughter. After the death of old Dr Grantly, a bitter struggle begins over who will succeed him as Bishop of Barchester. And when the decision is finally made to appoint the evangelical Dr Proudie, rather than the son of the old bishop, Archdeacon Grantly, resentment and suspicion threaten to cause deep divisions within the diocese.

Anthony Trollope was well aware that the seemingly parochial power struggles that determine the action of Barchester Towers - struggles whose comic possibilities he exploits to hilarious effect - actually went to the heart of mid-Victorian English society, and had, in other times and other guises, led to civil war and constitutional upheaval. That awareness heightens the comedy and intensifies the drama in this magnificent novel and it transforms the story of a fight for ascendency among the clergy and dependants of a great English cathedral into something fundamental and universal. Barchester Towers is the second of Trollope's six Barchester Novels. The covers will be protected with a new inert archival 100 micron sleeve which is removable.

Gold and gilt is bright and clean on covers and page edges."Barchester Towers is the chronicle of personal and political maneuvering within the Church of England in the mid-nineteenth century. The story begins as one Bishop of Barchester dies and a new bishop is selected. This new Bishop, Dr. Proudie, is led by his wife, Mrs. Proudie, and his domestic chaplain, Mr. Slope. Mrs. Proudie and Mr. Slope are determined to shake up the church establishment in Barchester with a series of new policies and practices, including the formation of Sabbath, or Sunday schools. The established clergy of Barchester, led by Archdeacon Grantly, the son of the previous Bishop, are equally determined to keep things as they have always been. Tangled up in this church power struggle is Hiram's Hospital, a charitable establishment for retired people. A new warden is to be appointed to run this hospital and both sides want to put one of their own followers in this position. The Archdeacon wants to reappoint Dr. Harding, who held the position previously before a newspaper scandal forced him to resign. Dr. Harding is also the father of two daughters. The older daughter is Susan Grantly, who is married to the Archdeacon. The younger is Eleanor Bold, a new widow with a baby and a small fortune".
