Barchester Towers and The Warden (The Modern Library of the World's Best Books, ML 41)

xiv, 746, [8] pp. Grey cloth, gilt titles. Two works from Trollope's Barsetshire novel series in one volume, with an introduction by A. Edward Newton. Trollope's panoramic, six-volume portrayal of the professional and landed classes of Victorian England, The Barsetshire Novels are, as a group, one of the great works of 19th-century English fiction. Following the intrigues of ambition and love in the cathedral town of Barchester, these novels--the first serial fiction in English literature--include both Trollope's most popular novel, Barchester Towers, as well as his own personal favorite, The Last Chronicle of Barset.
