When a man gets into his head an idea that the public voice calls for him, it is astonishing how great becomes his trust in the wisdom of the public.

Spending the morning in the best way possible: tsk-tsking over the irresponsible behavior of a nineteenth-century vicar.
Weekend reading plans! I love Anthony Trollope, and Framley Parsonage does not disappoint. The Milton biography is excellent, providing cultural and literary contexts about 17th century England in addition to details about the life of John Milton. Slow reading, to be sure, but interesting. #fridayreads #amreading
New serial! Thanks to a request from a reader, there‘s a few new titles from Anthony Trollope‘s Chronicles of Barsetshire series available in Serial Reader including “Framley Parsonage.” Is there a book you‘d like to see in #serialreader ? Request it here or in the app! 💙
Found stacks of Folios at Riverby Books in Fredericksburg, VA today. I tried to restrain myself and still ended up with five. Waugh‘s The Loved One, and 4 Trollopes - tagged book, and The American Senator, Phineas Redux, and Lady Anna.

Another lovely romance that follows similar lines to Doctor Thorne and also revisits some beloved characters from earlier in the Chronicles and marries them off beautifully too. I get a bit lost in all the politics and I'm not entirely sure what the Duke of Omnium has done to earn so much opprobrium, but it all rattles along with good things happening to mostly good people and mostly bad people ending up with less, so who could possibly complain?
