Phineas Finn

by Anthony Trollope

Overview

Part Two Of Two Parts

With the Reform Bill of 1867 as background, Trollope's story pits ambition and public life against the unreasonable demands of love.

The author tackles themes that continue to fascinate. For example, an Irish member of Commons personifies the dilemna that England and Ireland in their relationship face even to the present day.

PHINEAS FINN (1869), the second of the Palliser novels, follows CAN YOU FORGIVE HER?

Editorial Reviews

If David Shaw-Parker isn’t the most subtly funny Duke of Omnium ever, let’s give up. The Duke’s self-important basso as he courts Madame Max seems to come out of his shoes, and it’s an amazing surprise, because by the time Omnium really enters the story, Shaw-Parker has created so many varied characters and voices that you can’t imagine he’s still got a trick you haven’t heard. PHINEAS FINN is a rich comedy of manners and politics. It is also every bit as much a marriage story as anything from Jane Austen, but with a young man from the provinces seeking advancement and security in a world where many women have more money and influence than he. This is a deliciously entertaining listen. B.G. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2018 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
