The Warden by Anthony Trollope

Description

The Warden is a book by Anthony Trollope, first published in 1855. It is the first novel in Trollope's beloved Chronicles of Barsetshire series, a collection of works exploring the lives, politics, and moral dilemmas of English clergy and their communities. Set in the fictional cathedral town of Barchester, the novel focuses on Septimus Harding, the kindly and conscientious warden of Hiram’s Hospital, an almshouse for elderly men. When Harding’s position is challenged by reformers questioning the fairness of his income, he becomes the unwitting center of a public scandal. Widely praised for its humor, wit, and subtle character development, The Warden marked the beginning of Trollope's literary career and his reputation as a keen observer of Victorian life.
