The tranquil atmosphere of the cathedral town of Barchester is shattered when a scandal breaks concerning the financial affairs of a Church-run almshouse for elderly men. In the ensuing furore, Septimus Harding, the almshouse s well-meaning warden, finds himself pitted against his daughter s suitor Dr. John Bold, a zealous local reformer. Matters are not improved when Harding s abrasive son-in law, Archdeacon Grantly, leaps into the fray to defend him against a campaign Bold begins in the national press. An affectionate and wittily satirical view of the workings of the Church of England, "The Warden" is also a subtle exploration of the rights and wrongs of moral crusades and, in its account of Harding s intensely felt personal drama, a moving depiction of the private impact of public affairs.
