The Warden (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading)

by Anthony Trollope, Lynette Felber (Introduction)

Overview

The first book of the Barsetshire series, The Warden, finds the Reverend Septimus Harding accused of financial misconduct with his reputation besmirched. This false accusation is used by Trollope to satirize both the religious establishment and the narrow-minded locals. With his deft hand for characterization, the author reveals both the hypocrisy and integrity inherent in the common man.

About the Author

One of the most prolific writers of the Victorian era, Anthony Trollope (1815-82) did not begin his career as a novelist until he was in his thirties. In addition to his novels, most of them multi-volume "triple-deckers," he also wrote sketches, short stories, travel books, and biographies of classical figures.
