- Summary:
- Trollope conceived the story of the novel in Salisbury, while wandering round the cathedral one midsummer evening in the 1850s. Set in the world of the Victorian professional and landed classes that Trollope portrayed so consummately, the book centers on Mr. Harding, a clergyman of great personal integrity, whose charitable income far exceeds the purpose for which it was intended. On discovering this, young John Bold turns his reforming zeal to exposing what he regards as an abuse of privilege, despite the fact that he is in love with Mr. Harding's daughter, Eleanor.
