About Barchester Towers

 

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.

This is the second novel in Trollope’s Barsetshire series.
