Framley Parsonage de Anthony Trollope

Framley Parsonage

Autor Anthony Trollope
en Limba Engleză Paperback
This is the fourth book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire but, as with the others, it can be read as a stand alone novel. One of the two main themes surrounds Mark Robarts, the young vicar of Framley, who becomes ensnared into guaranteeing a loan for the unscrupulous local MP, which causes many difficulties for Mark until the local landowner and close friend, Lord Ludovic Lufton, comes to his aid. The other main theme is the romance between Lufton and Mark's young sister, Lucy, much to the horror of Lufton's mother, who has other ideas for the marriage of her son. An amusing subplot is the rivalry between the Bishop's wife, Mrs Proudie, and the Archdeacon's wife, Mrs Grantly, over the marriages of their respective daughters.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'The fact is, Mark, that you and I cannot conceive the depth of fraud in such a man as that.'The Reverend Mark Robarts makes a mistake. Drawn into a social set at odds with his clerical responsibilities, he guarantees the debts of an unscrupulous Member of Parliament. He stands to lose his reputation, and his family, future, and home are all in peril. His patroness, the proud and demanding Lady Lufton, is offended and the romantic hopes of Mark's sister Lucy, courted by Lady Lufton's son, are in jeopardy. Pride and ambition are set against love and integrity in a novel that has remained one of Trollope's most popular stories.Set against ecclesiastical events in the Barchester diocese and informed by British political instability after the Crimean War, Trollope's fourth Barchester novel was his first major success. A compelling history of uncertain futures, Framley Parsonage is a vivid exploration of emotional and geographical displacement that grew out of Trollope's own experiences as he returned to England from Ireland in 1859.

Recenzii

Convincingly argues that its narrative of "precarious livings and tenancy" displaces to Barsetshire topical concerns about land ownership and occupation in Ireland.
