When the peaceful atmosphere of Barchester is destroyed by a scandal concerning the financial affairs of an almshouse, Septimus Harding, the kindly but unworldly warden who is responsible for the care of the establishment s twelve elderly residents, finds himself in conflict with his daughter s suitor, the zealous reformer John Bold, who unwittingly unleashes the full might of the press against his prospective father-in-law.
The first in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series, The Warden is both a humorous satire on the Church of England and a poignant insight into the manner in which public matters can affect private lives.
This edition contains extensive annotations and extra material.
