Hiram's Hospital is an alms house supported by the income from a medieval charitable bequest to the Diocese of Barchester. The income maintains the alms house itself, supports its twelve bedesmen, and, in addition, provides a comfortable abode and living for its warden. Mr Harding has been appointed to this position through the patronage of his old friend the Bishop of Barchester, who is also the father of Archdeacon Grantly to whom Harding's older daughter, Susan, is married. The warden, who lives with his remaining child, an unmarried younger daughter Eleanor, performs his duties conscientiously.

The story concerns the impact upon Harding and his circle when a zealous young reformer, John Bold, launches a campaign to expose the disparity in the apportionment of the charity's income between its object, the bedesmen, and its officer, Mr Harding. John Bold embarks on this campaign out of a spirit of public duty despite his romantic involvement with Eleanor and previously cordial relations with Mr Harding.]]> 1855 2 0 true Sun Jun 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 18 06:50:28 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 07:51:02 -0700 2009 1

When Harding is accused of mismanaging church funds, his predicament lays bare the complexities of the Victorian world and of nineteenth-century provincial life. And, as Louis Auchincloss observes in his Introduction, “The theme of The Warden presents the kind of social problem that always fascinated Trollope: the inevitable clash of ancient privilege with modern social awareness.”]]> 1855 3 0 false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 11:18:32 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 20:45:28 -0700 2009 more...]]> 54982950 1893523 267123 0192834088 9780192834089 81 <![CDATA[The Warden]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173281679m/267123.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173281679s/267123.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/267123.The_Warden 3.65 652 1855 4 0 false Wed May 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon May 04 21:31:18 -0700 2009 Thu May 07 11:05:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 59828239 1309583 267123 0192834088 9780192834089 81 <![CDATA[The Warden]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173281679m/267123.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173281679s/267123.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/267123.The_Warden 3.65 652 1855 3 0 false Sun Jul 26 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 15 19:51:09 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 26 09:35:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 48189129 1040878 267123 0192834088 9780192834089 81 <![CDATA[The Warden]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173281679m/267123.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173281679s/267123.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/267123.The_Warden 3.65 652 1855 4 0 false Wed Apr 15 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 03 23:42:46 -0800 2009 Wed Apr 15 07:12:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 32267900 1479980 3187648 0192502174 9780192502179 2 <![CDATA[The Warden]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3187648.The_Warden 3.67 3 Mr. Harding's daughter Eleanor.
