Framley Parsonage edition by Anthony Trollope Reference eBooks
I enjoyed reading the entire series of novels in what is called the Barchester Chronicles. I'm glad I read the books in order. This is the fifth of six novels. Because the books were released as serials in a magazine, I find them to be a bit repetitive within the novels themselves; a lot of ground is re-covered, which can be frustrating to those of us reading it years later as a novel. It must have been very exciting at the time waiting for the next installment. There are a couple of memorable characters here who make an appearance later in the series (Lily Dale, for example) and some from previous novels. The way Trollope weaves characters in from previous novels while making each story able to stand alone is enjoyable for the reader.Product details

Framley Parsonage edition by Anthony Trollope Reference eBooks Reviews
If you love Trollope, you won't need any recommendation from me to read this book. It is superb. But please avoid this edition which is a disgrace. Punctuation is arbitrary, spelling mistakes annoying (eg 'riot' instead of 'not') but most annoying is the paragraphisation during conversations. It is common for someone who has more than one sentence to say has the two (or more) sentences printed in two or more paragraphs. It is very annoying and very confusing. One can only assume that the typesetting was done by an illiterate.
So please read this book but definitely not this edition.
i am a Trollopian and belong to the London Club; that being said...ive read this one several times and now Audible...reading this is like a nice mental vacation...a healthy one...Trollope believes in the 'grey' of human nature...even the worst of us can do beautiful selfless actions...i think his point of view...a man raised along the aristocracy and social elite but still believing in an 'aristocracy of ability'...a meritocracy....is most modern and out of his realm. This is a personal book for Trollope he was the 'hobbletehoy' of young John Eames who couldnt buy the affection of any woman....his love interest, a prig yet with a charming personality, who prefers to crucify herself on her poor judgment and hubris....Trolloppe has a distinct moral universe of which i am sync....he does believe in being kind and decent to one another....and though an Englishman at a time they were starving the Irish...he found his life and success in Ireland in the midst of such horrid famine and death....
Trollope has few if any truly villainous characters but Mr. Sowerby in this novel has so fallen into disrepute that his conscience is smothered. He picks his prey, a young, impressionable cleric who wanting to be kind and friendly falls for a trick, not once, but two or three times. Eternal optimimist! Yet he is so eager to help his so-called friend that he hides his troubles from his dear wife. I love the way Trollope weaves together the stories of the four couples, all distinctly personal but contributing to the overall story. I surmised that Dr. Thorne would find a wife in his niece's friend. This happy man marries off his niece with an unexpected large inheritance to one of higher status although he believes he is an old man makes a very eligible marriage himself. The underdog triumphs in Lucy Robart's story, she gives up and lets Lady Lufton have her way but mother love and Lucy's sweet but firm persistence wins the day. I give Ludovic Lufton much credit for sniffing out Griselda Grantley's personality and leaving her to be reaped by Lord Dumbello. Another fun thing about Trollope, his names rock! This volume moves away from church politics to electioneering, simony and nepotism showing that those in the church were not immune from such contaminations.
This is the fourth of Trollope's Barsetshire novels. He is always (to me) an engaging companion and a wonderful chronicler of middle class life in Victorian England and Ireland. He is also especially acute on the working of political and ecclesiastical organisations, especially the connections between ambition and petty rivalries on the one hand and the core beliefs underlying religious and other ideological groupings. He gently exhorts us not to lose touch with those core belief.
Trollope generally eschews overt drama in favour of quiet observation and gentle insights into human nature. He is also extremely good on money in all it's practical aspects - the many ways the search for wealth or the effects of poverty can encroach on attempts to live decently and indeed to survive in an uncertain and class-obsessed society.
Framley Parsonage is one of his finest works, and not a bad place to start for new readers (you do not need to have read the previous works in the sequence to thoroughly enjoy it). At its core is the common human dilemma of a young, mildly ambitious man, rising rapidly through the ranks of the Anglican hierarchy, who is seduced by the lure a 'set' who live not just beyond his means but, in some cases, even beyond their own. The perils of debt is a theme Trollope often explored and it was a painful aspect of his own early life and perhaps a spur to his extraordinary work ethic. Mark Robarts is a good man who has to learn from mistakes any of us could identify with.
Bu there are many other themes and a range of rich characterisation and interlaced plots in a novel which is superbly crafted and gently pulls the reader along, including, of course, a charming romantic sub-plot (a love across social classes) which was seemingly a great talking point at the time of its serial publication.
I believe this is one of Trollope's most satisfying works. It also concludes with a meditation on marriage in general and the various marriages portrayed in the novel which I found balanced and profound.
The introduction to this edition gives some excellent insights and a context for understanding the role of the Church of England at the height of it's authority, but also at a point when the beliefs underlying that authority were about to be threatened and ultimately to go into a long decline.
I enjoyed reading the entire series of novels in what is called the Barchester Chronicles. I'm glad I read the books in order. This is the fifth of six novels. Because the books were released as serials in a magazine, I find them to be a bit repetitive within the novels themselves; a lot of ground is re-covered, which can be frustrating to those of us reading it years later as a novel. It must have been very exciting at the time waiting for the next installment. There are a couple of memorable characters here who make an appearance later in the series (Lily Dale, for example) and some from previous novels. The way Trollope weaves characters in from previous novels while making each story able to stand alone is enjoyable for the reader.
