From the Back Cover
Can a morally scrupulous English gentleman make an effective Prime Minister? This is one of the enduringly fascinating problems posed in The Prime Minister (1876). And as Plantaganet Palliser, Duke of Omnium, overenthusiastically supported by Lady Glencora, presides over the Coalition government, Trollope reaches into the highest echelons of the English establishment, depicting political realities rather than ideology, portraying social, sexual and domestic politics as well as the public variety. The world of the novel is perplexed and dominated by the handsome impostor Ferdinand Lopez. Even the Duke and Duchess are not immune to his malign influence, as Lopez pursues Emily Wharton for her charm and her fortune, and plots to win membership of that most exclusive of English clubs, the Houses of Parliament.
About the Author
Anthony Trollope (1815-82) became one of the most successful, prolific and respected English novelists of the Victorian era. Some of Trollope's best-loved works revolve around the imaginary county of Barsetshire, but he also wrote penetrating novels on political, social, and gender issues and conflicts of his day.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Mass Market Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Fourth Impression. Moderate cover wear. Tight, sturdy copy. The fifth of the six "Palliser novels", THE PRIME MINISTER covers the period in which Plantagenet Palliser reluctantly leads the country in a three-year coalition government. Despite his wife's efforts to consolidate his base of support, he is too sensitive, diffident, and uncompromising to make a successful prime minister. Threaded into the political narrative is the story of the corrupt Ferdinand Lopez, a mysterious figure of dangerous influence and dubious background. "The Prime Minister" has a more gentle vein of humor than the earlier novels, but its subtle chiding of Parliament and the society surrounding it is an irrefutable criticism of the hollowness at the center of the system.
