Trollope's delicious sequel to The Warden plunges you back into the petty politics and power plays of cathedral life in fictional Barchester. Watch the scheming Mrs Proudie and her henpecked bishop clash with the wonderfully oily chaplain Mr Slope, while gentle Mr Harding gets caught in the crossfire. It's Victorian social satire at its finest—sharp, witty, and surprisingly modern in its skewering of ambition and hypocrisy. Perfect for lovers of classic literature who enjoy their comedy of manners with a generous dose of ecclesiastical intrigue. Show more
