When Reverend Josiah Crawley, the impoverished curate of Hogglestock, is accused of theft it causes a public scandal, sending shockwaves through the world of Barsetshire. The Crawleys desperately try to remain dignified while they are shunned by society, but the scandal threatens to tear them, and the community, apart. Drawing on his own childhood experience of genteel poverty, Trollope gives a painstakingly realistic depiction of the trials of a family striving to maintain its standards at all costs. With its sensitive portrayal of the proud and self-destructive figure of Crawley, this final volume is the darkest and most complex of all the Barsetshire novels.
カスタマーレビュー
Last but not least of the Barsetshire chronicles
Apparently this was Trollope's favourite of the Barset stories. It ties up some loose threads and ends with the traditional satisfactory ending of Trollope's novels. It famously, however, does not bring together in happy matrimony two characters from "The Small House at Allington", which I think is my personal favourite of the series. This is more of a sequel than the others, which, although they contain characters who figure in other novels of the series,are all stand-alone books.
