Description

Framley Parsonage by Anthony Trollope is a compelling novel of love, ambition, and moral choice in Victorian England. Set in the quiet cathedral city of Barchester, it follows Mark Robarts, a young clergyman navigating the temptations of high society after his appointment to Framley Parsonage. As he becomes entangled in aristocratic circles, political intrigue, and financial misjudgment, his integrity is tested. Meanwhile, a tender romance blossoms between him and Lucy Robarts, while other couples face societal pressures on matters of heart and duty. With keen insight into human nature and social hierarchy, Trollope weaves a story of personal growth, forgiveness, and the enduring value of honesty and faith. A cornerstone of the Chronicles of Barsetshire.

Author

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) spent his days as a Post Office surveyor and his early hours at the novel — a clerk's discipline that produced an English county of clergy and a later London of money. Barchester Towers is the church as weather: preferment, gossip, a bishop's wife. The Way We Live Now is the same eye on speculation and the social lie. He wrote without apology for the method. Church, vote, and marriage sit in the same air.
