Palliser Novels Volume One, The Palliser Novels

Three novels of propriety and politics in Victorian England—the basis for the BBC adaptation.

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

Can You Forgive Her?: This revealing romp through proper society follows three different women who dare to defy Victorian standards.

Phineas Finn: An adventurous Irishman sets out to find his fortune among proper English society—and winds up entering the world of Parliament.

The Eustace Diamonds: An ambitious, keenly intelligent woman finds that lying is the easiest way to get through life.

Anthony Trollope

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.
