Phineas Redux, Paperback by Trollope, Anthony; Bowen, John (EDT), ISBN 019958348X, ISBN-13 9780199583485, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The fourth of Trollope's Palliser novels, Phineas Redux is one of his most spellbinding achievements. Trollope shows a remarkably prescient sense of the importance of intrigue, bribery, and sexual scandal, and the power of the press to make or break a political career. He is equally skilled in portraying the complex nature of Phineas's romantic entanglements with three powerful women: the mysterious Madame Max, the devoted Laura Kennedy, and the irrepressible Lady Glencora (now Duchess of Omnium). In hisintroduction, John Bowen highlights the weaving of public events and private passions in th, the strength of the female characters, and the analogies, both subtle and comic, between the different kinds of action (politics, hunting, romance) that th contains. An appendix outlines the internal chronology of the series, providing a unique understanding of the six novels as a linked narrative. In addition, th features a compact biography of Trollope and a chronology charts his life against the major historical events of the period. Numerous notes explain political, cultural, and social allusions. - Publisher.
