Penguin The Warden - Anthony Trollope - Boek

The Warden, Anthony Trollope’s classic novel, is set in a quiet cathedral town and unfolds as a drama of conscience that pits individual integrity against worldly ambition. This Penguin English Library edition presents a witty, satirical tale in which Septimus Harding’s tranquil world is disturbed by reformers and ruthless newspapers. As the story moves through Barsetshire’s familiar streets, Trollope brings to life a cast of sharply observed characters and a social landscape that has made him one of the great chroniclers of Victorian England. It is the first book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire, celebrated for its nuanced portrayal of small-town life and moral dilemma. The edition runs to 256 pages, offering a compact, accessible entry into Trollope’s richly drawn universe.

In this quietly escalating conflict, the dignity of ordinary people is tested by public scrutiny and shifting values, inviting readers to consider what constitutes true justice and virtue.
