'All Hogglestock believed their parson to be innocent; but then all
Hogglestock believed him to be mad.' Josiah Crawley lives with his
family in the parish of Hogglestock, East Barsetshire, where he is
perpetual curate. Impoverished like his parishioners, Crawley is
hard-working and respected but he is an unhappy, disappointed man,
ill-suited to cope when calamity strikes. He is accused of stealing
a cheque to pay off his debts; too proud to defend himself, he
risks ruin and disgrace unless the truth can be brought to light.
Crawley's predicament divides the community into those who seek to
help him despite himself, and those who, like Mrs Proudie, are
convinced of his guilt. When the Archbishop's son, Major Grantly,
falls in love with Crawley's daughter Grace, battle lines are
drawn. The final volume in the Barsetshire series, The Last
Chronicle draws to a close the stories of many beloved characters,
including the old Warden, Mr Harding, Johnny Eames, and Lily Dale.
Panoramic in scale, elegiac and moving, it is perhaps Trollope's
greatest novel. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
