Book excerpt: In the quiet countryside of Barsetshire, controversy stirs within the tranquil walls of Hiram's Hospital, a charitable institution for elderly men. The source of contention lies in the generous income the warden Mr. Harding receives from the hospital's endowment, which some argue is excessive for his duties. As public opinion mounts against him, led by the zealous reformer John Bold, Mr. Harding finds himself torn between his sense of duty to the hospital's residents and the moral scrutiny of the broader community. Anthony Trollope's insightful portrayal of characters and moral dilemmas unfolds against a backdrop of pastoral beauty and societal scrutiny. The Warden is a timeless exploration of justice, compassion, and the clash between tradition and reform in a small English town, showcasing Trollope's mastery of psychological depth and social commentary. ANTHONY TROLLOPE [1815-1882] was an English novelist and civil servant. Among his most famous works is the series known as The Chronicles of Barsetshire, in which he delves into the intricacies of rural and ecclesiastical life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid food shortages and grumbling, Barsetshire is unsettled by the arrival of a pretty war widow in this “delicately humorous [and] entertaining” novel (The New York Times). World War II may be over, but its effects linger in the English countryside as the local ladies trade ration coupons for a paltry selection of provisions. It’s feeling like a bleak summer—but it won’t be a boring one, now that flirtatious young widow Peggy Arbuthnot and her sister-in-law, Effie, are on the scene. Peggy has quite a few admirers—including Noel Merton, which is rather unfortunate for his wife. Suspense reigns over who might win Peggy’s hand—and whether the Merton marriage will survive . . . “Where Trollope would have been content to arouse a chuckle, [Thirkell] is constantly provoking us to hilarious laughter. . . . To read her is to get the feeling of knowing Barsetshire folk as well as if one had been born and bred in the county.” —Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book Ethnicity and Gender in the Barsetshire Novels of Angela Thirkell written by Penelope Fritzer and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1999-04-30 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Angela Thirkell wrote more than 30 comic novels that spanned the period between 1930 and 1960 in England. Beginning in 1933, the books are set in Barsetshire as extensions of the seven Barsetshire novels of Anthony Trollope. In her works, Thirkell creates a world in which minor characters from one novel appear as major characters in another, and in which her various figures go to school, court, marry, give birth, bring up their children, retire, and die. The domestic concerns of her novels are set against a time of great stress for England, which witnessed World War II and its social and political aftermath. While her books highlight the pretensions and weaknesses of various groups in England, her humorous narratives constantly reflect a conservative social and political viewpoint. There are several strong themes that run throughout the Barsetshire novels, but two of the most notable are ethnicity and conventional marriage-oriented gender roles. Fritzer's book examines the importance of gender and ethnicity in Thirkell's Barsetshire novels and discusses how her characters convey conservative views within a comic world. Thirkell repeatedly makes clear that England is best, and that it is better to be born English than to become British. Not many foreigners appear in the early books, and throughout, the ones who do are nearly all caricatures, from the arrogant French to the oblivious Americans. In her later works, foreigners appear more frequently and are treated with less disdain. Because her books concern the pairing off of couples, marriage and domesticity figure prominently in her works. Thirkell upholds the idea of conventional, marriage-oriented roles for both men and women, but she includes a benign acknowledgment of homosexuality. Casual sex and illegitimacy are generally reserved for the lower class. However, sexuality, for the most part, does not play a large role in the novels and pairings come about more often for reasons of suitability, affection, and financial stability. Few scholarly works have been written about Thirkell, though her novels are now experiencing a revival of interest. Because gender and ethnicity are central to many contemporary debates, Fritzer's book is a valuable guide to Thirkell's relevance to modern audiences.
