The Parson's Daughter and Other Stories

This is a selection of Anthony Trollope's short fiction, taking its title from the 1861 tale of Patience Woolsworthy, a Devon parson's daughter whose pride and a mismatched proposal test the marriage market of a remote parish. Companion stories treat courtship, money, clerical households, and the embarrassments of rank in English provincial and London settings. The pieces are independent; there is no frame narrator. Typical concerns - what a woman may refuse, what a gentleman owes - run through the book. It is an anthology of Victorian short stories, not a novel of Barsetshire and not a single serial.

Bound in full cream cloth with a repeat pattern in green. White dust-jacket printed in green and black.
