The Palliser Novels Volume Two: Phineas Redux, The Prime Minister, and The Duke's Children

by Anthony Trollope

Overview

Three novels of an aristocratic British family and the world of parliamentary politics—the basis for the BBC adaptation.

Also known as the Parliamentary Novels, the fourth, fifth, and sixth books in Anthony Trollope’s series follow the lives of an aristocrat, his wife, and the political and social circles in which they move.

Phineas Redux: The ever-ambitious Irish rogue Phineas Finn, now widowed and restless, is pulled back into the game of parliamentary politics.

The Prime Minister: With the Whigs and Tories at a standstill in their attempts to form a working government, a compromise is finally reached and Plantagenet Palliser is installed as prime minister—but it will soon bring turmoil, both personal and professional.

The Duke’s Children: Plantagenet Palliser must face new challenges and a changing world if he is to hold his family together in the final installment of the Palliser Novels.

About the Author

Anthony Trollope (1815–1882) was the author of over fifty books of fiction and nonfiction and is widely regarded as one of the preeminent English novelists of the Victorian era. Uncommon in his ability to capture both a wide readership and the highest respect of his most influential critics and peers—including luminaries such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, William Thackeray, Henry James, and George Eliot—Trollope is best remembered for two great sextets, the Chronicles of Barsetshire and the Pallisers, as well as his late-career satirical masterpiece The Way We Live Now.
