Trollope, Anthony "Doctor Thorne" - Barchester Chronicles 3 - 1858

Trollope, Anthony "The Small House at Allington: - Barchester Chronicles 5 - 1864
Trollope, Anthony "The Last Chronicle of Barset" - Barchester Chronicles 6 - 1867


I love these novels because there are so many different themes in the whole series. If you look for a long term commitment and like classical novals, this series is for you. It was written in the middle of the 19th century and describes the life of the people in the Victorian world, a fictive town, Barchester, in a fictive county, Barsetshire, with a cathedral and all its paraphernalia.

  1. I've never read Trollope but have a book friend who loves him. I also like long term commitments for a book series or author so thank you for listing these. Saving this page as a bookmark,

    1. If you like Jane Austen, you would also like Trollope.
      I hope you'll enjoy him. Thanks, Tina.

  2. Trollope is one my list of authors to read someday. I admit I'm a little intimidated by the length of his novels. But so many readers really love his books I expect I would, too.

    1. His books are long and I can't say anything about that. I love big books but I know many don't. All I can say, trya short one. "The Warden" is not THAT long and it's the first in the series anyway.

    1. If you liked "The Warden", you will also like the others, Eva. They also made a nice little mini-series from the first two Barchester books.
