About this ebook

Anthony Trollope, an essential novelist from the Victorian Period, was characterised by strict social and sexual morals. "Barchester Towers", published in 1857, was, in some sense, a sequel to Trollope's previous novel called "The Warden". Both novels would be the first two of a six-novel series titled The Chronicles of Barsetshire (AKA Barchester series). "The Warden" introduced a particular society from which subsequent novels in the series spun off. "Barchester Towers" is connected to the previous novel not only through a shared setting, but even more importantly by Eleanor Bold, who is the heroine of both novels.

"Barchester Towers" is the chronicle of personal and political manoeuvring within the Church of England in the mid-nineteenth century. The main plot concerns the controversy about who will be the new Warden of Barchester. There are several candidates and opposing sides scheme against one another. In addition, this search is related to the novel's romantic plot, for winning the hand of Eleanor Bold will have great political ramifications for any potential warden. In "The Warden", Eleanor had married John Bold, but we learn in "Barchester Towers" that Bold has died. Thus, the search begins for a new husband. Three suitors emerge for Eleanor's hand: Obadiah Slope, Bertie Stanhope, and Francis Arabin...

Anthony Trollope

<p><b>Anthony Trollope</b> nació en Londres en 1815, hijo de un abogado en bancarrota y de Frances Trollope, que, tras fracasar montando un bazar en Cincinatti, escribió <i>Usos y costumbres de los americanos</i> (ALBA CLÁSICA núm. XLVIII), con la que inició una carrera literaria que le reportó fama y prosperidad económica. Anthony se educó en Harrow, Sunbury y Winchester, donde se sintió a disgusto entre los miembros de la aristocracia, y nunca llegó a la Universidad. En 1824 empezó a trabajar en el servicio de correos, donde permanecería hasta 1867. Tras siete años en Londres fue trasladado a Irlanda, y de ahí a nuevos destinos por el Reino Unido, Egipto y las Indias Occidentales.</p> <p>En 1847 publicó su primera novela, <i>The Macdermots of Ballycloran</i>, y en 1855 <i>El custodio</i>, la primera del ciclo ambientado en la mítica ciudad de Barchester (trasunto de Winchester) y en las intrigas políticas de su clero. Este ciclo lo consolidó como autor realista y le dio una gran popularidad. En 1864 inició con <i>Can You Forgive Her?</i> otro ciclo, el de las novelas de Palliser, en el que retrataría los entresijos de la vida política y matrimonial de los parlamentarios londinenses. En 1868 él mismo se presentó como candidato liberal a las elecciones, pero no fue elegido. Entre sus últimas obras cabe destacar <i>The Way We Live Now</i> (1875), una gran sátira del capitalismo. Murió en Londres en 1882.</p>
