Publisher Description: In mid-19th century England, an era full of celebrated novelists, Anthony Trollope was one of the most popular and critically acclaimed of them all. Even today, his Chronicles of Barsetshire series is widely read, as are his other novels, many of which deal with criticisms of English culture at the time, from its politics to its customs and norms. The Warden is no such exception to that kind of work. As the first novel in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series, it tells the story of a warden and precentor of a Cathedral, with barely veiled criticism of the Church of England and some other literary figures like Charles Dickens all contained within as well. |
