Book excerpt: Three novels of life and death in a rural town in Victorian England by a master of drama and social satire. In the nineteenth century, Anthony Trollope created the fictional world of Barsetshire, the setting for a series of classic novels that addressed love, murder, religion, politics, and the ordinary lives of locals both rich and poor. The Warden: A well-meaning public official finds himself embroiled in a scandal. Barchester Towers: A bishop passes away, leading the town to become caught up in church politics. Doctor Thorne: A young noble is drawn to a woman, but his family is displeased by her lack of fortune and social standing, in this sweeping love story.
