Barsetshire Chronicle (1): Barchester Nursing Home (collected Works of Trollope)
About This Novel
Trollope, the most prolific and greatest novelist in the history of British literature, has the most read works in the UK. He is a writer as famous as Shakespeare and Dickens. He is the first person in literature in the Victorian era and the representative work of the outstanding British novelist Trollope. Based on the authoritative original version verified by Page and Sadlier, the original grid version of famous names has not been seen in the market for 35 years. It shows a panoramic view of the satirical ridicule of the British Parliament and Church, the Jupiter Newspaper and the Pre-Raphaelites in the Victorian era. The Reverend Harding was the cantor of the cathedral choir, and his eldest son-in-law was the dean of Barchester - a high-status ecclesiastical position, just below that of the bishop. His duties are to supervise the patriarchs of all parties, inspect church buildings in the diocese, be responsible for the repair of church properties, and assist the bishop in handling church affairs. A few months after the marriage of Reverend Harding's eldest daughter to Dr. Glenleigh, the cantor of the church, she became cantor of the cathedral choir. In 1434, Mr. Hiram, a wealthy wool merchant, donated his Hiram Glade and Hiram Fields to the church in his will to support twelve aging wool carders living in Barchester, and to build a nursing home for them to live in, with a suitable apartment attached for a dean, who would draw money from the income from the above land every year. Because this gentleman was very fond of sacred music, he wrote in his will that the cantor of the cathedral choir could concurrently serve as the director of the nursing home, and he only needed to obtain the approval of the bishop.
