About the book

Anthony Trollope's The Warden is the first of his Chronicles of Barsetshire and introduces the fictional cathedral community that would become central to some of his best-known novels. The gentle Reverend Septimus Harding oversees a charitable institution for elderly men, but questions arise over whether his income is justified under the terms of the original bequest. Trollope uses the resulting controversy to explore conscience, journalism, institutional reform and the difficulty of deciding what is morally right when law and fairness do not neatly agree.
