Click to view full description | 1. | Trollope, Anthony Barchester Towers
New York Oxford University Press 1982 Paperback Very Good; Text is clean. Cover shows normal wear, 2 scuff marks at base of front cover. Illustrated by Ardizzone, Edward
FROM THE PUBLISHER: Barchester Towers (1857) is the second of the six Chronicles of Barsetshire, the work in which, after a ten years' apprenticeship, Trollope finally found his distinctive voice. In this his most popular novel, the chronicler continues the story of Mr. Harding and his daughter Eleanor, begun in The Warden, 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. Love, mammon, clerical in-fighting and promotion again figure prominently and comically, all centred on the magnificently imagined cathedral city of Barchester. The central questions of this moral comedy - Who will be warden? Who will be dean? Who will marry Eleanor? - are skilfully handled with the subtlety of ironic observation that has won Trollope such a wide and appreciative readership over the last 140 years. ; Oxford World's Classics; Mass Market PB; B&W Illustrations; 7.5 x 1 x 4.25 Inches; 590 pages

 | 2. | Trollope, Anthony He Knew He Was Right
New York Dover Publications 1983 Paperback Very Good; Text is clean. Cover shows normal wear. This Dover editions binds both volumes into one. Illustrated by Stone, Marcus
FROM THE PUBLISHER: Louis Trevelyan seems the most fortunate of mid-Victori an gentlemen: young, rich, well-educated, handsome, and with a beautiful wife. But his life is ruined by ungrounded jealousy. In the later mad scenes, in which the unlucky hero has been utterly consumed by an obsession with his wife's imaginary infidelity, Trollope's writing reaches a Shakespearian pitch unmatched anywhere else in his vast fictional output. In the sub-plot dealing with the marriages of his English and American heroines, Trollope engages head-on the issue of women's rights. And in the person of Miss Jemima Stanbury, the virtuous dragon of Exeter Cathedral Close, Trollope created one of his most notable comic characters. ; B&W Illustrations

| 5. | Trollope, Anthony The Warden
New York Oxford University Press 1980 Paperback Very Good; Text is clean. Cover shows almost no wear. Sharp copy. Illustrated by Ardizzone, Edward
FROM THE PUBLISHER: One of the most topical of his books, it tells the story of Mr Harding, an elderly clergyman, warden of an almshouse for old men, who faces a major crisis when his Church sinecure becomes the centre of public controversy. In it Trollope reveals his special genius for satirizing the Church of England. Yet while he wishes to expose an abuse of privilege, he is also vehement in his attack on the reformers - zealous John Bold, Dr Pessimist Anticant and Mr Popular Sentiment. But at the heart of the novel is Mr Harding's private drama of conscience, and in contrasting Harding's moral honesty with the worldliness of his fellow cleric, Archdeacon Grantly, and the hypocrisy of Tom Towers, editor of the crusading Jupiter, Trollope illustates his belief in the value of individual integrity. ; The World's Classics; Mass Market PB; B&W Illustrations; 7.5 x 0.75 x 4.75 Inches; 316 pages

 | 6. | Trollope, Anthony The Way We Live Now
New York Dover Publications 1982 Paperback Very Good; Text is clean. Light soiling to side text edge. Cover shows light wear, light shelfwear.
FROM THE PUBLISHERConsidered by contemporary critics to be Trollope's greatest novel, The Way We Live Now is a satire of the literary world of nineteenth-century London and a bold indictment of the new power of speculative finance in English life. The story concerns Augustus Melmotte, a French swindler and scoundrel, and his daughter, to whom Felix Carbury, adored son of the authoress Lady Carbury, is induced to propose marriage for the sake of securing a fortune. Trollope's portrait of Lady Carbury, impetuous, unprincipled, and unswervingly devoted to her own self-promotion, is one of his finest satirical achievements. In his kaleidoscopic depiction of a society on the verge of moral bankruptcy, Trollope gives us life as it was lived more than a hundred years ago, while speaking eloquently to some of the governing obsessions of our own age. ; 408 pages
