Enriched edition. Clergyman scandal and courtship in Victorian Barsetshire—romance, family conflict, and social morality within upper-class societyBy Anthony Trollope
Length8h 10m
About this audiobook
The Last Chronicle of Barset, the culminating novel of Trollope's Barsetshire sequence, interweaves the ordeal of Rev. Josiah Crawley—accused of stealing a cheque—with the courtship of Grace Crawley and Major Henry Grantly, the gentle leave-taking of Mr. Harding, and the pressures exerted by Bishop and Mrs. Proudie. Trollope's limpid, ironical prose and omniscient, ethically exact narration exemplify high Victorian realism. Shaped by late-1860s serial publication, its measured recapitulations deepen a capacious study of conscience, class, and clerical politics at the cycle's close. Anthony Trollope, a disciplined Post Office administrator, wrote to a fixed morning quota, a habit that steadied his observation of institutions and provincial life. Those years among hierarchies honed his interest in practical ethics and reputation, concerns that animate Crawley's humiliation. Returning to the diocese he founded in The Warden and Barchester Towers, he gathers dispersed lives and, amid contemporary debates on church reform and patronage, considers the burdens of integrity in an acquisitive, rapidly modernizing society. This Classic Unabridged Edition preserves the novel's amplitude and cadence. Essential for readers of Victorian realism, it offers newcomers a self-sufficient drama and long-time visitors a profoundly satisfying farewell.
Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable—distilled, never diluted.
