Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope (Heron Books Literary Heritage Collection)

Barchester Towers, one of the most popular novels by Victorian author Anthony Trollope, is a satire of the conflicts within the Church of England of the time told through the political struggles of the bitter and bullying Mrs Proudie in the fictional county of Barsetshire.

“It is not ... his greatest ... nevertheless it remains as perhaps the type novel of all the Trollope family. It is the one book of them all that you would give to someone who said to you, ‘Now what is Trollope really like? What is the point about Trollope?’ This book introduces and exults over one of the greatest figures in the Barsetshire Chronicles – Mrs. Proudie ...The theme, slender as it is, is one eternally attractive – the theme of the biter bit, the bully bullied, the war between tyrants.”
— Hugh Walpole
