The Warden
Condition remarks:
Condition: Good to fair. Jacket: good, worn/faded. Page Condition: Good - possible tanning. Markings: possible previous owner inscription.
The Warden is the first novel in Anthony Trollope's celebrated Chronicles of Barsetshire series, a masterwork of Victorian fiction that chronicles the quiet moral crisis of Septimus Harding, the mild-mannered warden of Hiram's Hospital in the cathedral city of Barchester. When a young reformer questions the financial arrangements that have long sustained Harding's comfortable position, the novel uncovers the collision between institutional tradition and the rising tide of public conscience in mid-nineteenth-century England. Written with Trollope's signature warmth and ironic wit, it presents a deeply human portrait of a good man wrestling with questions of duty, honour, and institutional corruption. The narrative details the pressures exerted by the Church, the press, and personal relationships upon one man's integrity, making it a timeless study in ethical dilemma. This Oxford University Press edition, introduced by Richard Church, brings an authoritative critical perspective to one of the most quietly powerful novels in the English literary canon.
