在英格兰的大教堂城市,教会和政治的关系密不可分。政府任命这些城市教会的首领——主教,主教之下还有执事长、教士长、代牧、堂区牧师以及特遣牧师——级别、重要性、影响力和收入都不尽相同的各类神职人员。这一切已经够复杂的了,然而,普劳蒂博士被委任为巴彻斯特新主教一事,颠覆了这座宁静城市的既定等级,权力斗争由此而起,反抗对象是新任主教的妻子——令人生畏的普劳蒂太太。再加上新任主教的特遣牧师奥巴代亚·斯洛普,一个油滑的野心家,战争的要素就算齐备了。
本书是英国小说家安东尼·特洛勒普的代表作之一,也是他的“巴塞特系列小说”中重要作品之一。 1850年,特洛勒普在邮局工作,利用往返于都柏林与贝尔法斯特火车上的时间完成了本书大部分的手稿。本书讲述了巴彻斯特教堂内部争夺权力的斗争和寡妇埃莉诺与牛津代牧阿拉宾有情人终成眷属的故事。
Barchester Towers, published in 1857, is the second novel in Anthony Trollope's series known as the "Chronicles of Barsetshire". Among other things it satirises the then raging antipathy in the Church of England between High Church and Evangelical adherents. Trollope began writing this book in 1855. "Barchester Towers is many readers' favourite Trollope", wrote The Guardian, which included it in its list of "1000 novels everyone must read".
