The Warden by Anthony Trollope (Paperback Book)
Anthony Trollope's The Warden is the first of his well-loved Chronicles of Barsetshire, edited with an introduction and notes by Robin Gilmour in Penguin Classics.

In the ensuing furore, Septimus Harding, the almshouse's well-meaning warden, finds himself pitted against his daughter's suitor Dr John Bold, a zealous local reformer.

An affectionate and wittily satirical view of the workings of the Church of England, The Warden is also a subtle exploration of.
