Barchester Towers
Barchester Towers, published in 1857, is the second of Anthony Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire. When the old bishop of Barchester dies, the post goes not to his son, Archdeacon Grantly, but to the weak Dr. Proudie, ruled by his formidable wife and his oily chaplain, Mr. Slope. War breaks out in the cathedral close between the Proudie party and the High Church clergy, over Sunday schools, the wardenship of Hiram's Hospital and the hand of the widowed Eleanor Bold. With the arrival of the exotic Signora Neroni, Trollope's comedy of ambition and church politics reaches its peak.
