Anthony Trollope

Framley Parsonage (Everyman's Library (Alfred A. Knopf, Inc.), 171) Anthony Trollope

In the course of last century, Anthony Trollope's fictional county of Barset has become one of English literature's most 'real', most celebrated landscapes.  Framely Parsonage--the fourth of his engrossing Barsetshire novels--concerns itself with the drastic misjudgements of an amiable but naive and overly ambitious young clergyman.  Through its shrewd and excellent social comedy and subtle, sometimes wicked, grasp of political and ecclesiastical manoeuvering, Trollope brings a whole local universe to convincing and triumphant life.
