Anthony Trollope is a British classic whose modern popularity in the English-speaking world can be compared only to that of Jane Austen ("Trollope kills me with his mastery," Leo Tolstoy wrote in his diary), and The Barsetshire Chronicles are deservedly considered one of his greatest achievements.
"Framley Parish" is the fourth book in the Chronicles; the reader learns about the subsequent fates of Dr. Thorne, Miss Dunstable, and other beloved characters. So, the young priest Mark Robarts has everything he could wish for: a loving wife, financial security, friendship with the landed family on whose lands his parish is located. Nature has gifted him with intelligence and charm. It would seem that life is a happy place, but he longs for more—to mingle with aristocrats and members of Parliament, to buy expensive horses, and to hunt with the elite. Alas, aristocrats and members of parliament are far from always honest, and acquaintance with them can easily lead to disaster...
The novel is published with classic illustrations by the renowned Pre-Raphaelite artist John Everett Millais, which accompanied the first edition of "Framley Parish" in Cornhill Magazine.
