Synopsis
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.

About the Author
ANTHONY TROLLOPE (1815–1882) was born in London to a bankrupt barrister father and a mother who, as a well-known writer, supported the family. Trollope enjoyed considerable acclaim both as a novelist and as a senior civil servant in the Post Office. He published more than forty novels and many short stories that are regarded by some as among the greatest of nineteenth-century fiction.
VICTORIA GLENDINNING is the Whitbread Award–winning biographer of Anthony Trollope, Elizabeth Bowen, Edith Sitwell, Vita Sackville-West, Rebecca West, and Jonathan Swift. Her novels, The Grown-Ups, Electricity, and Flight, were critical and commercial successes. She lives in London, England.
