The Last Chronicle of Barset

Trollope had firsthand experience with the Church of England, which adds authenticity to the characters and setting. I'm curious how much of his own views seeped into the story.

The novel has both serious moral debates and moments of wit. I wondered if that blend affected how others experienced the story's emotional weight.

Knowing this is the final installment, I wonder if Trollope planned it all along or if the story evolved to naturally conclude here.
