The second in Anthony Trollope´s series of ´Barset´novels, Barchester Towers introduces the weak, impressionable new Bishop of barchester, Dr Proudie, his formidable, imperious wife and his oleaginous, scheming chaplain, Mr Slope. Betwenn them, Mrs Proudie and Mr Slope are determined to shake the quiet diocese of Barchester to its foundations and bend its comfortable, conservative clergy to their respective, radical wills. They are forced to reckon with the redoubtable Archdeacon Grantley, however, who had himself hoped to be bishop, and who seeks to have his father-in-law Mr Harding re-appointed as warden of Hiram´s Hospital. As Dr Grantley clashes with Mrs Proudie and Mr Slope on matters of ecclesiastical politics, the latter seeks to ingratiate himself into Barchester society by simultaneously courting both Mr Harding´s widowed daughter and Signora Madeline Neroni, the daughter of another clergyman. Full of intrigue, both political and romantic, Barchester Towers is a captivating story with a cast of truly unforgettable characters.
