Synopsis

Anthony Trollope was one of the great English writers of the famous Victorian era. Trollope was prolific and his books often centered around the important political, social, and gender issues of his time. Trollope wrote the classic Chronicles of Barsetshire novels as well as The Way We Live Now, a satirical novel that is often ranked as one of the finest in Victorian era literature. Phineas Finn is the second novel in the Palliser series. The book tells the story of the title character, the youngest son of an Irish doctor, who is sent to London in the hopes that he will become a lawyer. Phineas is a lousy yet charismatic student who makes many friends, including an influential politician.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.

About the Author:

As young adult, Trollope endured seven years of poverty in the General Post Office in London before accepting a better-paying position as postal surveyor in Banagher, Ireland in 1841. The years in Ireland formed the basis of his second career delineating clerical life in small cathedral towns.
