This carefully crafted ebook: "The Warden - Chronicles of Barsetshire (Unabridged)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Warden concerns Mr Septimus Harding, the meek, elderly warden of Hiram's Hospital and precentor of Barchester Cathedral, in the fictional county of Barsetshire. Hiram's Hospital is an almshouse supported by a medieval charitable bequest to the Diocese of Barchester. The income maintains the almshouse itself, supports its twelve bedesmen, and, in addition, provides a comfortable abode and living for its warden. Mr Harding was appointed to this position through the patronage of his old friend the Bishop of Barchester, who is also the father of Archdeacon Grantly to whom Harding's older daughter, Susan, is married. The warden, who lives with his remaining child, an unmarried younger daughter Eleanor, performs his duties conscientiously… Anthony Trollope (1815-1882) was one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Some of his best-loved works, collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, revolve around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote perceptive novels on political, social, and gender issues, and on other topical matters. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life, but he regained the esteem of critics by the mid-twentieth century.

John Bold loves Eleanor Harding, but is campaigning against her father, the Warden, for mismanagement of charitable funds. This witty love story combines a comic portrayal of life in an English cathedral close with larger social and political issues. This edition includes Trollope's last Barset fiction 'The Two Heroines of Plumplington'.

In Anthony Trollope's classic novel 'The Warden,' the reader is transported to the quaint English town of Barchester, where we follow the moral dilemma of Mr. Harding, the kind-hearted warden of Hiram's Hospital. Trollope's precise and satirical writing style offers a keen observation of social and religious issues of Victorian England. This novel, part of Trollope's 'Chronicles of Barsetshire' series, showcases his astute character development and intricate plot construction. The book serves as a commentary on the power struggles within the Church of England and the personal struggles of its clergy. Trollope's exploration of ethical conflicts and human frailties resonates with readers to this day, making 'The Warden' a timeless literary classic. Anthony Trollope, a prolific Victorian novelist and civil servant, drew from his own experiences working in governmental bureaucracy to craft 'The Warden.' His keen understanding of human nature and societal norms is evident in his detailed characterizations and intricate plotlines. Trollope's nuanced portrayal of morality and ethics adds depth to 'The Warden,' making it a thought-provoking read for scholars and casual readers alike. I highly recommend 'The Warden' to readers interested in Victorian literature, morality tales, or social commentary. Trollope's insightful exploration of ethical dilemmas and power dynamics makes this novel a compelling and relevant read for modern audiences.
