What is the author's style in Barchester Towers by Anthony Trollope?

The story is written with the vocabulary of a nineteenth century English novel. It makes many references to the hierarchy of the Church of England and issues of church doctrine that it does not fully explain. Many readers from an non-British background might need to do additional research in order to understand some of the more complicated terms, however, a great deal can be determined from context and none of the religious issues are explored in depth.
