“Anthony Trollope’s series of Palliser novels, also known as the “Parliamentary Novels”, is an epic saga which charts the story of the relationship between the wealthy aristocrat and Liberal politician Plantagenet Palliser and his wife, the headstrong and mischievous Lady Glencora. Set against the background of Parliamentary politics from the mid-1860s to the late 1870s, the plots of the six novels revolve around love, ambition, intrigue, and murder, documenting the fashions and manners over the period”.
