Anthony Trollope (1815 – 1882) was an English novelist of the Victorian era. Among his best-known works is a series of novels collectively known as the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolves around the imaginary county of Barsetshire. “The Vicar of Bullhampton” is a novel which is made up of three intertwining subplots: the courtship of a young woman by two suitors; a feud between the titular Broad church vicar and a Low church nobleman; and the vicar's attempt to rehabilitate a young woman who has gone astray.

"The Vicar of Bullhampton" (1870) by Anthony Trollope is a particularly strong work that features all the British Victorian elements that the author is better known for: relationships, family bonds, intricate romantic entanglements, bittersweet nostalgia, social commentary, and delightful humor. Frank Fenwick, the vicar of Bullhampton, is at the heart of the story that involves the lives of several young people, including the beautiful Mary Lowther and the fallen "castaway" Carry Brattle. There is unrequited and misguided love, proposals and rejections, tragedy and scorn, and the comic showdown between the vicar and a marquis that involves the building of a rival chapel. This fine edition contains thirty-five vintage illustrations by H. Woods.

When a wealthy man named Norman returns to his hometown to woo a young woman named Mary, he finds himself competing with a charming but penniless curate, Frank Fenwick. But as secrets are revealed and loyalties are tested, the complexities of love and class come to the forefront in Trollope's classic novel.

"Two gentlemen seek Clara Desmond's hand, and each has a claim to Castle Richmond. Another story of love and law from Trollope, this time set in Ireland during the famine of the 1840's."--Goodreads
