バーチェスター新主教の妻で、争い事が好きなプロウディー夫人は夫と地元の僧侶たちを牛耳ろうと企み、スロープ牧師を主教邸に招く。しかしスロープは危険な男だった。金持ちの妻を娶ると決心し、有利にことを運ぶためにはプロウディー夫人と一戦を交えることも辞さなかった。プロウディー夫人とスロープの争いは、美しい金持ちの未亡人ボールド、グラントリー大執事、男好きのシニョーラ・ネローニ、穏やかなハーディング氏、困惑する牧師のクィバフルと彼の14人の子供たちまで巻き込んでさらに大きくなっていく。

Mrs Proudie, the warlike wife of the new Bishop of Barchester, brings the Reverend Slope into the Bishop's Palace to help dominate her husband and the local clergy. But Slope is a snake in the grass, determined to win advancement for himself - even to fight Mrs Proudie. Their battle becomes a furious dance, involving rich, pretty Widow Bold, angry Archdeacon Grantly, man-eating Signora Neroni, confused Parson Quiverful and his fourteen noisy children. This classic comedy is Trollope's most famous novel.
