It took a while for the real genius of this to sink in. I gave it three stars right after I finished it--the Ullathorne acts just moved so slow, and having to binge read that tepid pace for a seminar made it painful and killed the enjoyment of the book for me. But I find now, a couple months later, that I can't stop thinking about it, that it's the novel I keep coming back to when I think of the best thing I've read this semester (sorry Daniel Deronda). Anyway, I need more Trollope. A very Lukacsian novel. ( ![]() this book was weird, both incredibly boring and incredibly engaging at the same time. 3.5, upon reread via audio-book, I liked this book much better than the first time through. It was fun/ funny and sweet. I loved the character analysis and the varied character types. The story was interesting, if a bit slower paced. I enjoyed Trollope's writing style and narrative voice. Love his naming characters (similar to Dickens, right): Bishop and Mrs. Proudie, Mr. Quiverful, Mr. Slope. Don't remember much of it but do know it turned me on to Trollope and I read many of his works subsequently. Here's what I wrote after reading in summer 1983: "Written in Victorian England about how Victorian Englanders lived. Good story set in the cathedral city of Barchester. Who will rule the bishopry? Bishop Proudie, Mrs. Proudie, or Mr. Hope? Who will marry Eleanor Bold? Who will be the warden at the hospital?". Fiction nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Barchester Towers, Trollope's most popular novel, is the second of the six Chronicles of Barsetshire.The Chronicles follow the intrigues of ambition and love in the cathedral town of Barchester. Trollope was of course interested in the Church, that pillar of Victorian society - in its susceptibility to corruption, hypocrisy, and blinkered conservatism - but the Barsetshire novels are no more`ecclesiastical' than his Palliser novels are `political'. It is the behaviour of the individuals within a power structure that interests him. In this novel Trollope continues the story of Mr Harding and his daughter Eleanor, adding to his cast of characters that oily symbol of progress Mr Slope,the hen-pecked Dr Proudie, and the amiable and breezy Stanhope family. The central questions of this moral comedy - Who will be warden? Who will be dean? Who will marry Eleanor? - are skilfully handled with that subtlety of ironic observation that has won Trollope such a wide and appreciativereadership.
