PHINEAS FINN (one of set)

Between 1864 and 1979, the great British author Anthony Trollope wrote 6 books called The Palliser Novels. They revolve around the wealthy aristocrat and politician Plantagenet Palliser and his wife, Lady Glencora, and they cover the sweep of Victorian society. They are considered satire and parody of English life, and criticism of the British government's predilection for attracting corrupt and corruptible people to power.

In 1977, Oxford University Press released The Palliser Novels in separate 5" x 7 1/2" volumes. I have the full set: Can You Forgive Her?, Phineas Finn, Phineas Redux, The Duke's Children, The Prime Minister and The Eustace Diamonds. You can buy as many as you like--please contact me first so I can combine the shipping. If you want the whole set, please contact me.

Phineas Finn is #2 in the series. It is illustrated by the English artist T.L.B. Huskinson. The novel deals with both British parliamentary politics of the 1860s, and Finn's romances with women of fortune, who could secure his financial future.

The book is in excellent condition. A few of the pages have puckering. One page is creased from improper storage but will press out. The dust jacket has minor shelfwear. But the pages are all nice and white and the binding is tight.
