'You might pass Eleanor Harding in the street without notice, but
you could hardly pass an evening with her and not lose your heart.'
John Bold has lost his heart to Eleanor Harding but he is a
political radical who has launched a campaign against the
management of the charity of which her father is the Warden. How
can this tangle be resolved? In the novel which is Trollope's first
acknowledged masterpiece, the emotional drama is staged against the
background of two major contemporary social issues: the
inappropriate use of charitable funds and the irresponsible
exercise of the power of the press. A witty love story, in the Jane
Austen tradition, this is also an unusually subtle example of
'Condition of England' fiction, combining its charming portrayal of
life in an English cathedral close with a serious engagement in
larger social and political issues. The Warden is the first of the
six books which form Trollope's Barsetshire series of novels. This
edition also includes 'The Two Heroines of Plumplington' - the
short story which Trollope added, just before his death, to provide
a final episode in the annals of Barsetshire. ABOUT THE SERIES: For
over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the
widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable
volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the
most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features,
including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful
notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further
study, and much more.
