  Anthony Trollope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Some of Trollope's best-loved works, known as the Barsetshire Chronicles, revolve around the imaginary county of Barsetshire, but he also wrote penetrating novels on political, social and inter-gender issues and conflicts of his day.
The BBC commissioned a four-part radio adaptation of The Small House at Allington, the fifth novel of the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which was broadcast in 1993.
The response of listeners was so positive that adaptations of the five remaining novels of the series were commissioned and the complete series broadcast on BBC Radio 4 between December 1995 and March 1998.

 Barsetshire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barsetshire is a fictional county created by Anthony Trollope, which is featured in the series of novels known as the " Chronicles of Barsetshire ".
Trollope implies that an administrative division has split the county into East Barsetshire, which includes Barchester, and West Barsetshire.
Barsetshire was also used as the setting for a series of 29 novels by Angela Thirkell, written from 1930 to 1961.

He did become member for East Barsetshire, but he was such a member - so lukewarm, so indifferent, so prone to associate with the enemies of the good cause, so little willing to fight the good fight, that he soon disgusted those who most dearly loved the memory of the old squire.
His father had been member for Barsetshire all his life, and he looked forward to similar prosperity as though it was part of his inheritance; but he failed to take any of the steps which had secured his father's seat.
Elections in East Barsetshire, from various causes, came quick upon each other in those days, and before he was eight-and-twenty years of age Mr Gresham had three times contested the county and been three times beaten.

Barsetshire, however, is not now so essentially one whole as it was before the Reform Bill divided it.
Whether or not it was true, as stated at the time, that the aspect of the men with whom he was called on to associate at St Stephen's broke his heart, it is not for us now to inquire.

After the publication in 1932 of Angela Thirkell's first Barsetshire novel, her fans eagerly awaited a new book in the series, and they were rewarded annually for the next 27 years.
Drawing upon the entire body of Barsetshire novels (set in Trollope's imaginary county whose seat, Barchester, is a cathedral town), Laura Collins shows Angela Thirkell's larger purposes in chronicling the daily lives of the rural English.
In the course of these narratives, her sharp sense of human nature is seen at its best when she introduces readers to the many babies, toddlers, and adolescents who grow up in Barsetshire.

Her stylish prose and deft portrayal of the human comedy in the imaginary county of Barsetshire have delighted readers for decades.
Since she began populating her mythical Barsetshire in the early 1930’s and then wrote one book a year, it is no wonder that even Thirkell occasionally lost track of what she had done with a few of them!
In this charming memoir, Angela Thirkell fills each of the three houses she lived in with details, describing the layout of rooms and youthful hidey-holes as well as their fascinating literary associations -- one was once the home of novelist Samuel Richardson and one was across from her older cousin, Rudyard Kipling.

 NLS/BPH: Minibibliographies, The Chronicles of Barsetshire by Anthony Trollope
From his fascination came the Chronicles of Barsetshire in which he wrote, against a backdrop of Victorian England, about religious and country life in an imaginary cathedral city called Barchester in Barset county.
Following is a list of the six chronicles of Barsetshire in chronological order of their contents as given in the Wilson Fiction Catalog 1975.
Fourth of the Chronicles of Barsetshire centers on Framley, a weak but honest young man, who is led astray and into debt by a spendthrift minister of parliament and finds himself in an awkward position.

Beginning in 1933, the books are set in Barsetshire as extensions of the seven Barsetshire novels of Anthony Trollope.
In her works, Thirkell creates a world in which minor characters from one novel appear as major characters in another, and in which her various figures go to school, court, marry, give birth, bring up their children, retire, and die.
There are several strong themes that run throughout the Barsetshire novels, but two of the most notable are ethnicity and conventional marriage-oriented gender roles.

Of special merit, amongst his huge output, are the so-called Barsetshire ("clerical") novels, and the so-called Palliser ("political") novels.
Above all, there is master story-teller Anthony Trollope, admitting finally that for him Barset has been a real place, a place where he as been induced to wander too long by his "love of old friendships, and by the sweetness of old faces".
Reading the Barsetshire novels in sequence, one finds it hard to believe that the man who created the insipid and pollyannaish Lily Dale also created the tortured Rev Josiah Crawley.

 Doctor Thorne eBook by Anthony Trollope
When the division above spoken of was first contemplated, in those stormy days in which gallant men were still combatting reform ministers, if not with hope, still with spirit, the battle was fought by none more bravely than by John Newbold Gresham of Greshamsbury, the member for Barsetshire.
Fate, however, and the Duke of Wellington were adverse, and in the following Parliament John Newbold Gresham was only member for East Barsetshire.
He had already chosen a wife, and by his choice had given much ground of distrust to the men of East Barsetshire.

This is the second of the six Barsetshire novels, and the first great novel in that series.
I recommend to friends that they try the Barsetshire novels, and then, if they find themselves hooked, to go on to read the Political series of novels (sometimes called the Palliser novels, which I feel uncomfortable with, since it exaggerates the role of that family in most of the novels).
BARSETSHIRE TOWERS is, therefore, coupled with THE WARDEN, a magnificent place, and perhaps the best place to enter Trollope's world.

Each of the twenty-nine novels in the Barsetshire series is like one tile in a complex mosaic.
Retired from a career in educating others, she has had time to devote to educating herself, to resurrecting an essential element of the British cultural world six thousand miles distant and sixty years ago, and in so doing, making Barsetshire a delightful and comprehensible place for all to visit.
She feels extraordinarily lucky to be alive at such a time, and in such a place, where the beauty of the natural landscape is in piquant juxtaposition to Going to Barsetshire as a part of her mental landscape.

In the Barsetshire novels we see very little of the differences in dogma between C. of E. and Roman Catholic or between C. of E. and Judaism.
It does indeed, but it is important to distinguish, as you do in your post, between the "politics" of the Church of England, which motivates the Barsetshire clergy, and the "theology" which distinguishes the different churches (i.e.
