episode 081 - LXXXI Barchester Cloisters cover

Description

In this compelling rendition of Trollopes finest work, LibriVox reader Nicholas Clifford introduces us to the deeply flawed yet fascinating character of Josiah Crawley. This proud and tormented clergyman faces the grave consequences of his human weaknesses when he stands trial for the alleged theft of a twenty-pound cheque. The trial brings turmoil to his devoted family, particularly affecting his long-suffering wife, Mary, and their daughter, Grace, the novels romantic heroine. As Crawleys plight unfolds, he increasingly evokes the tragic figure of King Lear, lost in his own despair. Join us for a poignant exploration of pride, shame, and the complexities of human relationships. (Summary by Steve Gough)
