The Last Chronicle of Barset (The Classic Unabridged Edition) (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Clerical scandal, courtship, and conscience in Victorian BarsetshireBy Anthony Trollope
Length37h 57m
About this audiobook
The Last Chronicle of Barset brings Anthony Trollope's Barsetshire sequence to its grave, humane conclusion, centering on the Reverend Josiah Crawley, accused of theft and tormented by poverty, pride, and spiritual desolation. Around this moral crisis Trollope weaves courtship, clerical politics, class anxiety, and domestic comedy with his characteristic omniscient irony and psychological patience. As a Victorian realist novel, it stands beside the great mid-century studies of conscience and society, yet retains Trollope's distinctive conversational ease and expansive social vision. Trollope, himself a disciplined civil servant and prolific novelist, knew intimately the institutions, routines, and compromises of Victorian public life. His years in the Post Office and his acute observation of provincial England helped shape Barsetshire's believable ecclesiastical world. The novel also reflects his mature concern with moral fallibility: not melodramatic sin, but the ordinary pressures under which good people wound one another and themselves. This classic unabridged edition is warmly recommended to readers who value richly peopled fiction, ethical subtlety, and the satisfactions of a completed fictional world. It rewards both newcomers and devoted Trollopians with a moving meditation on justice, forgiveness, and human dignity.
