I read this (having avoided Trollope all my life) after reading Peter Hall’s praise in his riveting Diaries. I am glad I did. Gripping narrative, credible characterisation and surprisingly relatable situations. Although I admire Trollope’s instincts, the disproportionate discourses on the press and lawyers amongst other things jar slightly. Otherwise for me an ideal book for the holidays. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

HTML: The first of Anthony Trollope's works to receive widespread popular and critical acclaim, The Warden follows the career of Septimus Harding, the warden of an almshouseâ??an early form of subsidized housing for the poorâ??who is forced to adapt to looming social changes when a zealous young reformer comes on the scene. Confusion, crossed wires, and much hilarity ensue. A must-read for fans of witty social satire Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

woven into the peculiarities of character, from timid WARDEN to outspoken Bold.
There's compelling reading in-between some long repetitions...
The mysteries are why:
1. no one can decipher Hiram's Will to determine how much $ goes to poor men and how much to Warden?
2 . did The Good Warden never question his 800 pounds a year vs the skimpy amount he extended to his 12 men,
notably because he thinks is not really doing much to earn the money...?
3. didn't he just stand up and admit that he'd never thought about that unfairness and that, thanks to Bold,
he would now remedy it, with even back payments?
4. the gentle Bishop let the 12 men suffer without a new warden because he refused to hire anyone except Harding
who no longer would accept the position? ( )
