This volume contains the complete six Palliser novels; all 1.6 million words, which author Anthony Trollope called "the best work of my life,".
Nowhere else did Trollope bring to life in such compelling fashion the teeming world of Victorian England society and politics, and nowhere else did he create more memorable and living characters than those who populate these six volumes. This epic saga concerns the wealthy aristocrat and politician Plantagenet Palliser and his wife Lady Glencora, in a plot involving love, murder, ambition, and English politics in varying degrees, specifically in and around Parliament.
As a group the Palliser Novels provide us with the most extensive and telling expose of British life during the period of its greatest prestige.
The six literary gems in this volume are:
Can You Forgive Her? (1864)
Phineas Finn (1869)
The Eustace Diamonds (1873)
Phineas Redux (1874)
The Prime Minister (1876)
The Duke's Children (1879)
