I don't know if anybody reads Trollope anymore but I used to love his books and probably this series most of all I'm currently rewatching the dvd series Barchester Chronicles, which does a pretty good job of adapting the first two books to the screen, mainly thanks to three excellent performances by Donald Pleasance, Nigel Hawthorne and Alan Rickman. Trollope was one of the most prolific writers of the 19th century even though he held down a day gig as a Post Office Inspector at the same time.
