About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Vicar of Wrexhill by Frances Milton Trollope. A villainous vicar insinuates himself into the life of a wealthy but foolish widow, ruining the fortunes and happiness of her three children, until they begin to fight back. Published in 1837 by the mother of the better-known Anthony Trollope, this highly readable romance portrays the evangelical movement of the Anglican church in a shocking light that may remind readers of some of the religious abuses of the present day.
