The Warden (Anthony Trollope, 1855)

I keep running into references of Trollope being such a famous Victorian novelist, so I thought I would try one of his books. It didn't leave me rushing to try more, though I may do so at some point.

This book was the first of a set known as the "Baretshire" books - often revolving around the clergy. In this one, the application of Anglican church revenues is challenged by a do-gooder; the beneficiary of the revenue is conflicted; unexpected romance. Etc.
