It's true that 'Barchester Towers' may be the more comic and the more popular, (even the Modern Library gives it preferment) but a great deal of its enjoyment lies in the set-up provided by 'The Warden'.
These two novels are inseparable and Mr. Hardings' first troubles add so few pages to the bulk of 'Barchester Towers', the reader has little to lose and much to gain in the reading of both. I hope I don't undermine my argument too much by separately reviewing them.
