Description

Barchester Towers is a witty and engaging novel by Anthony Trollope, set in the fictional diocese of Barchester. The story revolves around the bitter struggle for the position of Bishop, which ultimately leads to the appointment of the evangelical Dr Proudie. This decision sparks resentment and suspicion, causing deep divisions within the diocese. The novel is populated by a cast of characters, each with their own distinct personality and motivations. The saintly Warden of Hiram's Hospital, Septimus Harding, and the ineffectual but well-meaning new bishop, are just two of the figures who navigate the complex web of relationships and power struggles. This edition of Barchester Towers includes a preface by J. K. Galbraith, providing additional context and insight into the novel's historical and social background.
