“I wish Mr. Trollope would go on writing Framley Parsonage forever. I don’t see any reason why it should ever come to an end, and everyone I know is always dreading the last number.”

Elizabeth Gaskell to George Smith, publisher of the Cornhill, March 1, 1860

In Framley Parsonage, the fourth novel in Trollope’s Chronicles of Barsetshire, the author leaves the confines of Barchester and looks to the countryside, where he relates the moral difficulties of Mark Robarts, the young clergyman who has recently been appointed vicar of Framley Parsonage. Desperate to keep up with the local aristocracy, the country parson is persuaded to underwrite the debts of Sowerby, a well-respected peer. However, when the debts are called in, Robarts finds himself in a serious predicament.

Written with acute insight, together with a great deal of warmth and humor towards his characters’ attendant charms and foibles, Framley Parsonage is sure to delight.
