Description
The Warden by Anthony Trollope In this first novel of the Chronicles of Barsetshire series, Anthony Trollope introduces the fictional cathedral town of Barchester and its clerical inhabitants. At its heart is Mr. Septimus Harding, a fundamentally good man who has been granted the comfortable wardenship of Hiram's Hospital. Harding conscientiously fulfills his duties to the twelve elderly occupants of the hospital, while also caring for his younger daughter Eleanor, who is in love with a young doctor named John Bold. However, when Bold becomes an enthusiastic reformer, he sets in motion a sequence of events that Harding cannot stop, from editorials in a local newspaper to legal interference from a powerful archdeacon. This thoughtful novel combines the romance of a young couple with a nuanced description of clerical life, ultimately leading to a melancholy conclusion.
