Barchester Towers (version 2)
Barchester Towers, published in 1857, is the second novel in Anthony Trollope's Chronicles of Barsetshire series. The story follows the power struggle within the Church of England after the death of a beloved bishop, as the new Evangelical Bishop Proudie and his domineering wife, Mrs. Proudie, clash with the established clergy. The novel satirizes the tensions between High Church and Evangelical factions, showcasing Trollope's keen social commentary. Initially rejected by his publisher for its perceived vulgarity, it has since become a favorite among readers and critics alike.
