Summary

The Small House at Allington is a novel by the English writer Anthony Trollope. It first appeared as a serial in the Cornhill Magazine, running from the July–December 1862 issue to the July–December issue of the following year. In 1864 it was published as an independent work in two volumes. It is the fifth book in the Chronicles of Barsetshire series, preceded by Framley Parsonage and followed by The Last Chronicle of Barset. It enjoyed a revival in popularity in the early 1990s when the British prime minister, John Major, declared it his favourite book. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
