Enriched edition. Scandal and conscience in Barsetshire: Reverend Crawley's cheque, parish politics, and Grace Crawley's courtshipBy Anthony Trollope
Length8h 9m
About this audiobook
The Last Chronicle of Barset, the culminating sixth novel of Trollope's Barsetshire series, threads a mystery through the moral fabric of a cathedral county. The charge against the impoverished Reverend Josiah Crawley—did he, in desperation, pass a stolen cheque?—opens Trollope's most searching study of conscience, pride, and institutional charity, while the courtship of Grace Crawley and Major Grantly tests the etiquette of rank. Returning figures from earlier volumes gather toward closure without melodrama. In supple, ironical prose and an omniscient voice attentive to motive and milieu, Trollope balances parish politics, domestic comedy, and ethical inquiry. A veteran Post Office civil servant, Trollope wrote with a craftsman's discipline and a reformer's eye, drafting on early trains and absorbing the habits of clerics, landowners, and officials. His interest in ecclesiastical administration, his mother Fanny's example, and his wary Liberalism inform the novel's sympathy for fallible authority and stubborn virtue; the book reads as a mature summation of themes refined across the Barset sequence. Read this volume for its integrity of feeling and unhurried intelligence. Newcomers will find a complete, lucid narrative; returning readers will meet a valediction rich in memory and reward. Few novels make goodness so dramatic, or judgment so tender.
