Official synopsis Publisher
Barchester Towers (1857) by Anthony Trollope is one of the charming series of loosely connected novels set in Barsetshire. This is the second book to appear in the series, but may be read as a standalone work, and enjoyed on its own merits.
The residents and clergy of Barchester are faced with the continuation of the wardenship controversy, the tyranny of the controlling Mrs. Proudie (the new bishop’s spouse), and the insinuating onslaught of hypocrite and social climber Mr. Obadiah Slope — to amusing effect, and culminating in rather satisfying circumstances.
