Description:
This 1989 Folio Society edition presents Anthony Trollope's classic Victorian novel, the second instalment in his acclaimed Palliser series, also known as the Parliamentary Novels. The story follows the ambitious and charming young Irishman, Phineas Finn, as he embarks on an unpredictable political career in London. The narrative immerses readers in the intricate world of 19th-century British politics, particularly during the turbulent passage of the second Reform Act of 1867. Finn, a barrister's son, navigates the complexities of Parliament, where he encounters both the grandeur and the absurdities of the political system, including the jockeying for position, sloganeering, and inevitable compromises. His political aspirations become intertwined with his personal life, as he finds himself entangled in a series of romantic attachments with various women, including his patroness Lady Laura Standish, the heiress Violet Effingham, and the sophisticated Madame Max Goesler. This edition features illustrations by Llewellyn Thomas and an introduction by J. Enoch Powell. The binding is described as quarter cloth with decorated paper-laid boards and gilt spine titles, and it comes housed in a slipcase. This Folio Society edition offers a beautifully presented and insightful look into Victorian society, politics, and the study of human ambition and relationships. It is a valuable addition for collectors of finely produced books and fans of classic political fiction and Victorian literature.
