Trollope The Barsetshire Novels

Trollope, Anthony: Barchester Towers, OXFORD WORLD'S CLASSICS, August 2009 ISBN: 0199537658
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 appreciative readership.

Trollope, Anthony: Orley Farm. A Novel. - (=Oxford The World's Classics, Band 423). London, Oxford University Press, 1963.
Sehr guter Zustand. Schutzumschlag leicht gebräunt. Aus der Bibliothek der Gräfin Ledebur. - Orley Farm is a novel written in the realist mode by Anthony Trollope (1815-82), and illustrated by the Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais (1829-96). It was first published in monthly shilling parts by the London publisher Chapman and Hall. Although this novel appeared to have undersold (possibly because the shilling part was being overshadowed by magazines, such as The Cornhill, that offered a variety of stories and poems in each issue), Orley Farm became Trollope's personal favourite.[1] The house in the book became a school, which was originally supposed to be the feeder school to Harrow School. This is called Orley Farm, which Trollope allowed to be named after his book. This passage from the school website reads: In 1851 the school transferred to a house called "Sunnyside" in Sudbury Hill and began taking boarders, then in the late 1850s, Edward Hastings purchased an additional house, "Julians". Unbeknown to him, this property had previously belonged to the family of Anthony Trollope, and when that author faithfully described it in his famous novel of 1862, "Orley Farm", Hastings recognised the description and sought - and gained - the author's permission to change the name of his school to Orley Farm. Aus: wikipedia-Orley_Farm_(novel). - - Anthony Trollope (24 April 1815 - 6 December 1882) was one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Some of his best-loved works, collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, revolve around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. He also wrote penetrating novels on political, social, and gender issues, and on other topical conflicts of his day. Noted fans have included Sir Alec Guinness (who never travelled without a Trollope novel), former British Prime Ministers Harold Macmillan and Sir John Major, economist John Kenneth Galbraith, English judge Lord Denning, American novelists Sue Grafton and Dominick Dunne and soap opera writer Harding Lemay. Trollope's literary reputation dipped somewhat during the last years of his life, but he regained the esteem of critics by the mid-twentieth century. "Of all novelists in any country, Trollope best understands the role of money. Compared with him even Balzac is a romantic." - W. H. Auden ... Aus: wikipedia-Anthony_Trollope.
