by Anthony Trollope

Read a sample Read a sample
Trollope’s best-loved novel, edited by Professor Angus Easson with hyperlinked explanatory notes and extensive critical commentary. This BHD edition may be printed for personal use. The quiet life of Septimus Harding, the Warden of an almshouse, is shaken when the reforming spirit of the Victorian age charges the Church and the Warden with gross corruption. But the principal reformer has his own dilemma: while he attacks the abuse, John Bold loves Mr Harding’s daughter Eleanor. Mr Harding must decide whether he can in conscience remain Warden and Eleanor whether she should repudiate Bold as an enemy of her father. Easson’s chapter-by-chapter commentary explores how Trollope interweaves the distress of a good man and of a loving daughter with cathedral politics and abuse of the power of the Press, employing character, situation and satire in “a comedy that yet has as its central focus the issue of modern heroism, displayed as ordinary yet true in Septimus Harding”.
