WORDSWORTH CLASSICS
The Warden
ANTHONY TROLLOPE
The Warden is the first of Anthony Trollope's six Barchester
novels, and epitomizes the wit, charm and acutL social
observation that he brings to the series!
Septimus Harding is an unworldly, cello-playing clergyman,
beloved by the pensioners of Barchester's almshouse, of which
he is Warden. But when ecclesiastical and political skulduggery
engulfs him, he is pulled one way by the zealot John Bold, and
the other way by his son-in-law, the sardonic and richly comic
Archdeacon Grandy. The Warden finds himself faced with
difficult moral choices. Trollope's treatment of personal
dilemmas and human foible lends an ironic spice to
the arguments of those who wish to return
to 'Victorian values'.
Joanna Trollope, the best-selling novelist of the 1990's
pays tribute to her distinguished forebear in a
delightful introduction.
