About This Item
London: Smith, Elder and Co, 1867. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine. 2 vol. 8vo. [5], 2-384, [2]; [5], 2-384, [2] pp. Half contemporary calf over marbled boards, tooling in black on each board, with the spines in six compartments, gilt lettering and a green morocco label on each spine; all edges marbled. Bound from the parts, but without the wrappers and the advertisements. With 32 illustrations by George H. Thomas. Sadleir 26. A nicely rebound copy of Trollope's novel, the final installation in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series.Trollope's novels provide a first-hand insight into Victorian life and the era's changing values and traditions. This novel concerns itself with morality, or lack thereof, as several characters seek to take advantage of the misfortune of Reverend Josiah Crawley. A touch of wear to the extremities and a few traces of foxing to the pageblock.
Synopsis
Anthony Trollope was a masterful satirist with an unerring eye for the most intrinsic details of human behavior and an imaginative grasp of the preoccupations of nineteenth-century English novels. In The Last Chronicle of Barset , Mr. Crawley, curate of Hogglestock, falls deeply into debt, bringing suffering to himself and his family. To make matters worse, he is accused of theft, can't remember where he got the counterfeit check he is alleged to have stolen, and must stand trial. Trollope's powerful portrait of this complex man-gloomy, brooding, and proud, moving relentlessly from one humiliation to another-achieves tragic dimensions.
