This is the sixth and final novel in the Barsetshire series, which Trollope regarded “as the best novel I have written…. there is a true savour of English life all through the book” “For his grand finale of Barsetshire, Trollope summoned back all the characters whom he loved best… The Last Chronicle of Barset was acclaimed by the critics.” A contemporary reviewer, praising Trollope in Blackwood’s, remarked, “Honour to the writer who, amid so much that is false and vile and meretricious in current literature, beautifies our world and our imagination with such creations as these” (Hennessy, 276-7).
