Klappentext zu „Oxford World's Classics / The Warden “
The book centers on the character of Mr. Harding, a clergyman of great personal integrity, whose charitable income far exceeds the purpose for which it was intended. Young John Bold turns his reforming zeal to exposing what he considers to be an abuse of privilege, despite being in love with Mr. Harding's daughter Eleanor. The novel was highly topical as a case regarding the misapplication of church funds was the scandalous subject of contemporary debate. ButTrollope uses this specific case to explore and illuminate the universal complexities of human motivation and social morality. This edition includes an introduction and notes by David Skilton and illustrations by Edward Ardizzone.

Autoren-Porträt von Anthony Trollope
Anthony Trollope (1815-82), geb. in London, wuchs in einfachen Verhältnissen auf und wurde Postbeamter. Er lebte abwechselnd in den Vereinigten Staaten, in Irland und England. Seine Barchester-Romane machten ihn berühmt. Sie schildern humorvoll bissig und unpathetisch präzise die viktorianische Mittelschicht eines fiktiven und dafür umso realeren Domstädtchens im Süden Englands.
