Anthony Trollope (1815-82) had an unhappy childhood characterised by a stark contrast between his family's high social standing and their comparative poverty. He wrote his earliest novels while working as a Post Office inspector, but did not meet with success until the publication of the first of his 'Barsetshire novels', The Warden (1855). As well as writing over forty novels, including such popular works as Can You Forgive Her? (1865) , Phineas Finn (1869) , He Knew He Was Right (1869) and The Way We Live Now (1875) Trollope is credited with introducing the postbox to England. OK, “The Warden” by Anthony Trollope, published in 1855, is one of the classics of English literature. Conclusion. Harding moves into lodgings and eventually becomes preceptor in a small Barchester parish. living in reduced circumstances. Eleanor marries Bold, who gradually becomes friendly with the archdeacon. Chapter 16. Rev Harding also goes to London – to see Haphazard and escape from the archdeacon. When he is kept waiting for an appointment he hides in Westminster Abbey, wrestling with his conscience. He then passes time in a supper-house and a coffee shop. The Chronicles of Barsetshire are widely regarded as Anthony Trollope's most famous literary works. [4] [29] In 1867, following the release of The Last Chronicle of Barset, a writer for The Examiner called these novels "the best set of sequels in our literature". [30] Even today, these works remain his most popular. Modern critic Arthur Pollard writes: "Trollope is and will remain best known for his Barsetshire series", [4] while P. D. Edwards offers a similar insight: "During his own lifetime, and for long afterwards, his reputation rested chiefly on the Barsetshire novels". [29]

Anyone who has had any dealings with high-ranking politicians and bureaucrats knows the type. Haphazard is a man after victory. And he’s going to get it. Trollope, Anthony (2014) [1855].

These are fairly reasonable views to hold against the press – but Trollope almost abandons his responsibility to construct a coherent novel in his eagerness to berate (at great length) the organ which is bringing questionable practices within the church to the public’s attention. Not all third person readers are so anonymous. Nineteenth century classic fiction is famous for narrators of the “Dear Reader” school—that is, narrators who have characteristics as prominent as any of the characters in the novel. These narrators use their third person privileges to speak directly to readers, offering their opinions not just on characters and events in the story, but also on what they think the readers will think of those characters, or indeed, on any topics that might seem related to the story at all.

A man named John Hiram establishes a charitable hospital for the poor men of the nearby town of Barchester. Four hundred years later, the estate is making enough money that the warden of the hospital has a high salary. When a local man decides to uproot what he sees as corruption, a legal battle rages, with the result that many are hurt, and no one is helped. Escott, T. H. S. (1913). Anthony Trollope, his Work, Associates and Literary Originals, John Lane: The Bodley Head. Sir Abraham listened and looked in wonder. As he had never before seen Mr. Harding, the meaning of these wild gesticulations was lost upon him; but he perceived that the gentleman who had a few minutes since been so subdued as to be unable to speak without hesitation, was now impassioned — nay, almost violent.
