Description




Barchester Towers, Trollope's most popular novel, is the second of the six Chronicles of Barsetshire, and concerns the leading citizens of the imaginary cathedral city of Barchester. The much loved bishop having died, all expectations are that his son, Archdeacon Grantly, also a clergyman, will gain the office in his place. Instead, owing to the passage of the power of patronage to a new Prime Minister, a newcomer, Bishop Proudie, gains the see. His wife, Mrs Proudie, exercises an unseemly influence over the new bishop, making herself unpopular with right-thinking members of the clergy and their families. Her interference in the reappointment of the universally popular Mr Septimus Harding (hero of Trollope's earlier novel, The Warden) as warden of the hospital is not well received, even though she gives the position to a needy clergyman with a large family to support.

Even less popular than Mrs Proudie is the bishop's newly appointed chaplain, the oily and hypocritical Mr Obadiah Slope, who takes a fancy to Harding's wealthy widowed daughter, Eleanor Bold, and hopes to win her favour by interfering in the controversy over the wardenship. Summoned by the local clergy to protect their interests against the Proudies and Mr Slope is another clergyman, the brilliant Mr Arabin.

Audiobook reviews:

Barchester Towers is perhaps the most enjoyable novel of an author whom it is almost always a delight to read. There are few readers who will not enjoy the portrayal of the Archdeacon, Mrs Proudie, the egregious Mr Slope and many other characters. When in addition the novel is superbly read by Timothy West, this becomes an outstanding audio book. He judges the varied tone of the narration to perfection, and differentiates and portrays the various characters so well, that one forgets that there is just one single reader. I'm sure that I will not be alone in finding that listening to these novels read by Timothy West is more rewarding and enjoyable than reading the books for oneself. Strongly recommended as are all of Timothy West's readings of Trollope.”

“I cannot recommend this book highly enough. The reader's characterisations are brilliant, from the Bishop with his thin, reedy voice, to the conniving Mr Slope. I had forgotten what a great book this is. The dry wit of Trollope and the social observation are glorious; he is recognisably the author of The Warden, but he seems to have gained considerable confidence and really enjoys exploring the possibilities that various combinations of characters and situations provide him with. The novel is peopled with such wonderful characters, and so much incident, that I defy anyone not to be entertained. And if you can get through this book without laughing out loud then I'll eat my hat!”

"I have come to believe that Trollope's novels achieve a priceless extra stature in Timothy West's readings." Gramophone Magazine
