Classics
This funny book pokes fun at the stereotypes of Anglican clergymen. Divided into ten chapters, the author, Anthony Trollope, deems these, amongst others, to be the most commonplace, such as: 'The College Fellow Who Has Taken Orders', 'The Clergymen Who Subscribes for Colenso', and 'The Curate in a Populous Parish'. Even the most innocuous of titles, such as 'The Modern English Bishop', contains the following passage: 'In these days, when a plain footman demands his fifty pounds of yearly wages, and three hundred pounds a year is but a moderate rent for a London house, an archbishop cannot support a semi-royal retinue or live with much palatial splendor in the metropolis upon an annual income of eight thousand pounds. And then, above all, the archbishops have laid aside their wigs."
