Barchester Towers

VIDEO TALK

Anthony Trollope published three novels which failed to bring him either money or fame. Then, one evening, he was visiting the lovely cathedral city of Salisbury and was hit with an idea. Why not write a novel about clergymen, showing them not as professional men of the cloth but as ordinary men who fall in love, get into debt, lust after power, and jostle for position? He went away and began The Warden which was soon followed by Barchester Towers. These two books form the start of his great Barsetshire series, six novels that firmly place the fictional county of Barsetshire on the map of England.
