From the back:
The revived interest in Trollope´s Barchester novels is one of the satisfying literary signs of our time, and the first volume, "The Warden", sets the scene. It brought with it a new note of humour, and an author with a "complete appreciation of the unusual", for no writer has invented a society more acceptable. Trollope came to terms with the social order as he found it, and, as Walther Allen has said, "was probably the last English novelist to do so".
Kathleen Tillotson, speaking of the two outstanding characters in the novel, Archdeacon Grantly and Mr Harding, the warden, notes how the threat to Hiram´s Hospital - a charitable institution - sets them in inevitable collision, and we see the contrast between the formidable power of one and the tremulous timidity of the other yielding by natural steps to the victory of integrity and simplicity over worldliness. This essentially is the plot and it is one of the most satisfying that Trollope ever contrived.
One of Mopperhond's 900 English pocket books.
1967 Everyman Paperback.
