Barchester Towers: Nonsuch Classics

Series: English

This 1857 sequel to "The Warden" wryly chronicles the struggle for control of the English diocese of Barchester. The evangelical but not particularly competent new bishop is Dr. Proudie, who with his awful wife and oily curate, Slope, maneuver for power. "The Warden" and "Barchester Towers" are part of Anthony Trollope's beloved Barchester series.
