The Last Chronicle of Barset
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Last Chronicle of Barset is the final novel in Anthony Trollope's series known as the "Chronicles of Barsetshire", first published in 1867.
[edit] Plot summary
The Last Chronicle of Barset concerns an indigent but learned clergyman, the Reverend Josiah Crawley, the curate of Hogglestock, as he stands accused of stealing a cheque.
The novel is notable for the non-resolution of a plot continued from the previous novel in the series, The Small House at Allington involving Lily Dale and Johnny Eames; as well as the courtship of Crawley's daughter, Grace, and Major Henry Grantly, son of the wealthy Archdeacon Grantly.
The novel also includes the sudden demise of Mrs. Proudie, the virago wife of the Bishop of Barchester; and the poignant death scene of the gentle Mr. Harding, title character of The Warden.
