The second novel of Anthony Trollope’s brilliant Barsetshire series, presented here in a gorgeous hardcover edition.
Anthony Trollope was well aware that the seemingly parochial power struggles that determine the action of Barchester Towers—struggles whose comic possibilities he exploits to hilarious effect—actually went to the heart of mid-Victorian English society, and had, in other times and other guises, led to civil war and constitutional upheaval. That awareness heightens the comedy and intensifies the drama in this magnificent novel, and it transforms the story of a fight for ascendency among the clergy and dependents of a great English cathedral into something fundamental and universal.
Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free cream-colored paper, with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers, European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket. Everyman’s Library Classics include an introduction, a select bibliography, and a chronology of the author's life and times.
