by Anthony Trollope

Overview

Phineas Finn is a novel by Anthony Trollope and the name of its leading character. It is the second of the "Palliser" series of novels. Its sequel, Phineas Redux, is the fourth novel in the series. It deals with both British parliamentary politics of the 1860s, including voting reform (secret ballot and eliminating rotten boroughs and Irish tenant-right) and Finn's romances with women of fortune, which would secure his financial future.

His first major success came with The Warden (1855) - the first of six novels set in the fictional county of Barsetshire.
