Ch 28: The Second Reading Is Carried

Phineas Finn the Irish Member

Phineas Finn is the sequel to “Can you Forgive Her?” and the second novel in Trollope’s Palliser series. The eponymous hero is a young Irishman who becomes a member of the English parliament. Trollope aspired to become an M.P. himself, and he ably describes the workings of the English political scene. There is also a love interest, as the somewhat inconstant Phineas courts three different women: his Irish sweetheart, Mary Flood Jones; Lady Laura Standish, the daughter of a prominent Whig politician; and a lovely heiress, Violet Effingham. (Summary by Karen Merline) This is the second of Trollope’s six “Palliser” novels. LibriVox recordings of other novels in the series are available: 1-Can You Forgive Her? 2-Phineas Finn 3-The Eustace Diamonds 4-Phineas Redux 5-The Prime Minister 6-The Duke’s Children
