Description

Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope

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. Barchester Towers, to which The Warden forms the prologue, is the story primarily of the contest between Mrs. Proudie, the Bishop’s wife, and Mr. Slope, his chaplain, for primacy in the diocese. As an incident in this battle the wardenship of Hiram’s Hospital was in question. Against the strenuous advice of his son-in-law Archdeacon Grantly, and following criticism of the administration of the hospital funds, Mr. Harding resigned as Warden. Mrs. Proudie and Mr. Slope united in warring against the high-church party that sought his reinstatement. Mr. Slope, without Mrs. Proudie’s knowledge, had rashly offered the wardenship to Mr. Quiverful, but, upon learning that Mr. Harding’s widowed daughter Eleanor Bold had an income of £1,200, with an eye to the widow’s favour he swung to the support of her father.
