Ilustration Supposing Books Complete Barchester Chronicles
Have read this entire series twice now. Once from 2000-2002 and again in 2018. I loved it both times but think I appreciated it even more this second time. Trollope is a master novelist. I am on now to his Palliser Chronicles. There is a natural story progression, although the setting is different. As for characters, Plantagenet Palliser, the main focus of the Palliser Chronicles, was already introduced as a minor character in the Barchester Chronicles and the Duke of Omnium from the BC will continue into the PC. There are a few others as well, but mostly the stories are about altogether new people. When you leave Barsetshire here, you say farewell to most of your friends for good... Unless you return!Details Books In Pursuance Of Complete Barchester Chronicles

A dramatised classic Ive now tried listening to both Trollope and Dickens and I just cant get into them. I know that both novelists have written some of the most loved novels ever but I just find them slow and too ponderous. I wish I had the patience to listen to this dramatisation till the end but Im bored! So I guess the classics aint for me.I got a lovely Modern Library hardcover edition of this in one of my abundant local bookstores. I've read nearly all of Dickens (who Trollope refers to as "Mr. Popular Sentiment." LOL!!!) so it was high time to embark on Trollope. I've dedicated my adventures on this site to all things Trollope as I could not possibly list all the books I've read. You have to start somewhere....
How to review a classic and successfully add something new that will pull more readers to a good book?....this review is a work in progress.....
As expected. A slow moving, carefully crafted tale. All ends well.
I read all six of these novels over the past few months, the first 3 while travelling in Italy and France. Im not going to review them individually, as they make a more-or-less coherent whole and their similarities are numerous. Overall I quite enjoyed them, although there were places where the overlapping tales got a little too similar. The wry look at the social lives of rural ecclesiastics in mid 19th century England is mostly amusing, but Trollope is capable of deeper insight as well. I was
The Barchester Chronicles is in two parts; part 1 being the warden and part 2 Barchester towers. It is a story that is about a man who is one of the most endearing and loveable characters that i have ever encountered within English literature and someone who holds a mirror up to us all, (that being the one and only Mr. Harding who is warden of Hirems hospital). He is a model of honesty, compassion and gentleness but who is wrongfully charged as a corrupted man and even when this falsehood is
One of the finest and most neglected works of the 19th century. Exquisite.
