About this listen

The Last Chronicle of Barset

By Anthony Trollope

Read by Steve Gough

In the last of the six novels in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series Trollope relates the story of the impecunious curate Josiah Crawley who is falsely accused of stealing a cheque. The community is divided between the supporters and the accusors of the curate, the latter group including one of Trollope's most memorable characters, the formidable Mrs Proudie. Despite being almost broken by the ordeal, Crawley eventually manages to prove his innocence. The plot was drawn partly from Trollope's real life - the character of Crawley was based on his own father. There are a number of subplots in which Trollope takes the opportunity to tie up a number of loose ends in the narrative.

In his autobiography, Trollope said that he felt The Last Chronicle of Barset to be his best novel although not all commentators have agreed with his opinion.
