	Anthony Trollope : Barchester Towers : Chapter III. Dr and Mrs Proudie
		Dr Proudie was an ambitious man, and before he was well consecrated Bishop of Barchester, he had begun to look up to archepiscopal splendour, and the glories of Lambeth, or at any rate of Bishopsthorpe.
		From all this it was likely to result that Dr Proudie would not spend much money at Barchester; whereas his predecessor had dealt with the tradesmen of the city in a manner very much to their satisfaction.
		The Grantlys, father and son, had spent their money like gentlemen; but it soon became whispered in Barchester that Dr Proudie was not unacquainted with those prudent devices by which the utmost show of wealth is produced from limited means.

		Barchester Towers is a voice in a conversation that is still going on.
		Perhaps because Barchester was so real to Trollope, he invested all his characters with at least as many dimensions as those we generally like to perceive in our own lives.

	The Barset Novels
		This was the reader's report on Barchester Towers, the second in Trollope's Barchester series, and it resulted in a flurry of nerves at the publishers Longmans, who at one point demanded that the author cut the manuscript by a third!
		The Warden was really a prologue to Barchester Towers, and while there is little evidence to suppose that Trollope had initially planned a series of books, he clearly enjoyed the creation of Barchester and its characters evidently stimulated his imagination: 'In the writing of Barchester Towers I took great delight.
		In this, the third Barchester novel there are very few clerics -- Mrs Proudie, for example, having what amounts to a cameo appearance -- and this is chiefly because the author found himself more concerned with the county families.

		The Ullathorne games are an elaborate brunch, we would say, of medieval bounty and joustings of class and amours as well poles, hosted at the Elizabethan manor of the super old-fashioned brother and sister couple, the Thornes.
		A compliment, in comparison with the diatribe in the National Review, which found Madeline to be "absolutely unnatural," "an intrusion upon the stage, utterly out of harmony with the scenes and persons around her, and we cannot but think with the nature of her sex" (83).

	Full text and plot summary of Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope
		The first of these was The Warden (1855), and the second and now the most famous of all was Barchester Towers, published in 1857.
		However, in Barchester Towers, much of his venom is reserved for the squabbling that goes on among the clergy.
		The battle for the position of bishop of Barchester is surprisingly fierce, as Grantly and his faction learn that Proudie is submissive to the domineering Mrs Proudie, and also to the vulgar little chaplain Mr Slope who runs much of Proudie’s official business.

		Such a whisper had been made, and was known by those who heard it to signify that the cures of the diocese of Barchester should not be taken out of the hands of the archdeacon.

	Trollope Prize
		One of Madeline's primary functions in the novel is to insist upon critiques that the narrator has left understated, at once providing distance from the narrative voice by her obvious unfitness as an authoritative character and highlighting subtle implied parody.
		Barchester Towers is a novel which depicts the rejuvenation, or "reformation," of a community through a redefining of this ridge [between the "pure" and "impure"], through a separation of the sacred and profane.
		If Barchester Towers is such a sermon, then the reader must take at face value Madeline's declaration to Eleanor Bold, whom she is trying to convince to marry Arabin, "What I would not give to be loved...by such a man--that is, if I were an object fit for any man to love!" (439).

		St Ewold is not a rich piece of preferment--it is worth some three or four hundred a year, at most, and has generally been held by a clergyman attached to the cathedral choir.
		The archdeacon, however, felt, when the living on this occasion became vacant, that it imperatively behoved him to aid the force of his party with some tower of strength, if any such tower could be got to occupy St Ewold's.
		He had discussed the matter with his brethren in Barchester; not in any weak spirit as the holder of patronage to be used for his own or his family's benefit, but as one to whom was committed a trust, on the due administration of which much of the church's welfare might depend.
