Synopsis

The Warden is a novel written by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1855. The story is set in the fictional town of Barchester, where the main character, Mr. Harding, is the warden of a charitable institution called Hiram's Hospital. The novel explores the conflict between the traditional values of the Church of England and the changing social and political landscape of Victorian England.Mr. Harding is a kind and gentle man who is devoted to his job at the hospital, but he is also a man of conscience who is troubled by the fact that he is paid a large sum of money for his role as warden. This becomes a source of controversy when a young journalist named John Bold challenges the legality of Mr. Harding's salary, arguing that it is not in line with the original intentions of the hospital's founder.As the story unfolds, Mr. Harding finds himself caught in the middle of a bitter dispute between the church and the secular world, and he must decide where his loyalties lie. Along the way, he is supported by his daughter, Eleanor, and his friend, the archdeacon Grantly, but he also faces opposition from his son-in-law, a reform-minded doctor named John Bold.The Warden is a novel that explores themes of morality, duty, and the clash between tradition and progress. It is a timeless work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today.1906. Prolific English writer of novels dealing with Victorian life.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Rev. Septimus Harding was, a few years since, a beneficed clergyman residing in the cathedral town of ––––; let us call it Barchester. Were we to name Wells or Salisbury, Exeter, Hereford, or Gloucester, it might be presumed that something personal was intended; and as this tale will refer mainly to the cathedral dignitaries of the town in question, we are anxious that no personality may be suspected. Let us presume that Barchester is a quiet town in the West of England, more remarkable for the beauty of its cathedral and the antiquity of its monuments than for any commercial prosperity; that the west end of Barchester is the cathedral close, and that the aristocracy of Barchester are the bishop, dean, and canons, with their respective wives and daughters.
